ATI fglrx driver and component output using driver version 8.4

[Khyron]

Has anyone gotten component output to TV working with the fglrx ATI driver and an Integrated X1250? I can get a picture, but it is grey (monochrome). I have tried various options in my xorg.conf file and have succeeded in getting the picture to become very blue (or very red). I've spent many hours googling, and have tried many options, but I can't seem to get better than this. The S-Video display fine and looks good. I've attached my xorg.conf for reference (and you'll see it's been heavily hacked up). Anyone have any ideas to try?

Oops

I'm using the fr-client layout in that xorg.conf file.

This is what my setup looks like with component:



With s-video the colors are correct. Any progress on fixing the colors using component TV-out?

Looked like HW fault for me

Try rebooting with your TV connected to just the composite output and see if your BIOS screen(s) have correct colors. I did this and noticed that my composite output didn't have color, so I contacted Gigabyte and sent it back to them for them to look at once they told me the composite output should have color (one of the component outputs doubles as composite). At this point I don't think it was a driver/configuration issue since the composite output wasn't right in the BIOS screens.

However, UPS promptly damaged the package so Gigabyte won't touch it and it's being send back to me, so I don't have confirmation that it's a hardware issue.
