In a terminal:

>envy

or

>sudo envy

(I can't remember if you need sudo permissions for this.)

See if there are restricted drivers.  The open source (reverse-
engineered) drivers for ATI have limited capability.  Once you get the
restricted drivers going, then start playing with resolutions.  Backup
your configuration file first (sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.bak).

You want to address the TV at it's native resolution (1366 by 768).  Be
mindful that your graphics chip may not support all refresh rates--in
other words, when you select TV resolution, that clock setting will be
unique and the PC is left with using an even-multiple of that clock
setting.  This will sometimes result in strange resolutions for the PC
monitor.  This is something most people don't understand.  You can
address either the TV or Monitor at it's native resolution, but not both
at the same time.  Unless you have a high-end graphics card.  I'm not
sure what the capabilities of the ATI Radeon Xpress 200M are, but you
will find out it's limitations soon enough.

Leaving as Incomplete pending ATI restricted driver tests.
