I have an RV280 and a new install.
That means I have kernel 2.6.22 or 23 (currently 23).
I have Xorg 7.2 and Xorg-server-1.3.
And I want to run TV-OUT S-Video, specifically on bootup.
I can't get it to work.
The binary driver simply doesn't support the new xorg, and getting the old 7.1 (on gentoo) is a pain in the toucas. And it doesn't support the kernel anyway (although there's a way around that).
The open source driver (I'm using latest and it should support TVout) won't initialize svideo unless I have a VGA monitory connected and then doesn't give me a synchronized signal, the monitor rolls horizontally as if the timing were wrong.
So my question is: how can I get this to work?
My only option to date that I know will work is to buy a Geforce 6200 or a newer radeon so I can use their binary drivers.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
