Hi I'm new here, i love this site and i follow it daily.
I've setted up a media center pc, the problem is that this pc have an old sapphire ati 9000pro that works only with open souce driver.
with this driver i can see the tvout only when a monitor is connected, otherwise if i leave only the tv attacched by s-video cable i can see the bios bootup, the ubuntu 8.10 loading and when gdm start the screen is disabled (on my tv, jvc 32" crt is blue)
there is any possibility to configure the system to "force" the tvout?
I've tried many xorg configuration an parameter but nothing...
the only way to see only television is to use the ubuntu low graphic mode, without video acceleration...
