hi there,

I do have M10 card in my laptop and using xf86-video-ati driver

Code:

lspci | grep T2
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M10 NT [FireGL Mobility T2] (rev 80)

equery l xf86-video-ati | grep xf
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.8.0

equery l xorg
[I--] [ ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r5 (0)
[I--] [ ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2 (0)

I am launching tv-out config by running second X session -

Code:

startx -- :1 -config xorg-tv.conf

which creates second X session on laptop's LCD, because s-video is not recognized. Then I need to initialize s-video

Code:

xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600

Overlay of my LCD is then on TV. However problem is that using mplayer TV is blank and video plays only on LCD. I've tried varios -vo but none of them really helped. Also my second X doesn't support dri, so I cannot use gl2.

Any idea how to make video appear on TV? It used to work for me with M9 without issues.

Here's full xorg.conf - http://mahdi.cz/temp/gentoo/xorg-tv.conf - I've already played with varios settings a lot.

cheers & thanks,
mahdi
