Talon95,
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner but I was sick since for a week and had not touched the computer.
The information you sent me was very interesting. I can see clearly where my CV connection gets disabled and yours does not.
I upgraded my graphics drivers to 7.11 then cobbled together parts of your amdpcsdb and your xorg.conf. When I tried this new configuration it did not help but I felt closer to a solution. I had ended up with the TV as the primary display under the Control Center but still no HDTV formats to select.
I have just upgraded to the 7.12 drivers but that seems to have broken Compiz-Fusion and I have not tried anything else while I was sick.
I have always started Ubuntu with both the HDTV and CRT attached and powered on.
Thanks again for the information you have supplied.

ATI Control Panel Settings Location Question

rdvaughan,
I noticed something else. If I unplug my projector from the DVI port and reboot, the HD resolutions disappear from the ATI control panel.
So, if you don't have something similar connected (like a VGA monitor together with your TV on component, you may never see the settings.

Here are the xorg.conf and ati files, but the log file is way too long to post. I'll have to put it somewhere else.
I can tell you that the log shows no EDID data for my HDTV.

I have upgraded my graphics drivers to 7.11 and still no joy with component video output or Catalyst Control Centre selection of HDTV formats (none are displayed or selectable). I have Compiz-Fusion working and all the other accelerated features of the latest driver.

Considering you have a working Component Video configuration please send me your Xorg.0.log, amdpcsdb files. If you feel extra kind also your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. At least I would see what a working configuration looks like.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.

4. Use the ATI control panel to enable the dongle at which point you should have a clone display. At this point I had a scrolling 640x480 desktop on my TV.

Also, I can say for a fact that simply re-installing the drivers will not reset the system back to where mine started with the fresh install.
While I was trying to fix my problem last weekend, I tried uninstalling/re-installing the drivers but it would end up right back to the same garbled out of sync image on my TV. No scrolling 640x480 display. It had retained whatever f'ed up screen settings.
The only way around this is to find all of the settings locations.
Also, does anyone know how Ubuntu stores the current screen resolution? (from going to the built in menu to change resolutions) I also see resolutions show up in that menu that are not in my xorg.conf file including the 1152x648 res that I'm using.

I do have the dongle working. I've got my TV (Hitachi 51SWX20B) displaying 1152x648 which removes the overscan.
I don't think my TV returns any EDID info over component. The trick to getting the HDTV resolutions to show up is to restart after enabling the CV dongle. Roughly the steps I took to get it working were:
1. Install Ubuntu with a VGA monitor connected (component won't work at this point)
2. Install and enable ATI proprietary drivers.
3. Physically connect the TV to the component dongle. (might want to restart at this point, I can't remember if I did or not)
4. Use the ATI control panel to enable the dongle at which point you should have a clone display. At this point I had a scrolling 640x480 desktop on my TV.
5. RESTART the machine (or maybe just restart X).
6. Bring up the ATI control panel again. Now at least in my case it had enabled the HDTV custom resolution section and I could select 480p, 720p, etc... I selected 720p, 1080i, and 16x9.
7. Once the custom resolutions boxes are selected, the lower half of the window should show the custom resolutions. Select the one you want and hit the "Apply" button.
