after switching to ati-drivers(fglrx) instead of radeon(kernel dri) hdmi output works. but i still have issues here. even if i set up the resolution to 1920*1080 i see blank borders around the picture, it`s not fullscreen don`t understand why ... plus i have no hdmi sound, although the mixer is unmuted.. suggestions ?
edit regarding the audio problem: after playing around with various options, everthing worked except firefox/flash (see post below howto fix this) _________________ I do not have a Superman complex, for I am God not Superman

the solution was to put the following code in ~/.asoundrc :
Code: | pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:1,3"
rate 48000
channels 2
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 4096
}
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
} |
where these 2 lines did the trick :
Code: | pcm "hw:1,3"
rate 48000 |
flash needed the 48khz option as well as the correct card 1,3 for digital output *happy* _________________ I do not have a Superman complex, for I am God not Superman

The borders around the picture are because there is a mismatch between the driver and display overscan settings.
If you cannot change overscan settings in the monitor's OSD, then you can use "xrandr --prop" to toggle overscan for the output. |

It seems that your are not using kernel modesetting. You will get all xrandr controls only if you enable KMS. See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml how to configure your kernel for it. |

your guide leads me to the assumption that KMS only works with kernel based DRI ??? i am using the FGLRX driver, the kernel DRI used to be buggy on my system!! _________________ I do not have a Superman complex, for I am God not Superman

Ah sorry, if you use the proprietary driver then you have to use the Catalyst control center to toggle this.
Alternatively, set Option "TVOverscan" in xorg.conf. |

either way it does not work setting xorg.conf to Option "TVOverScan" "0.2" or Option "TVOverScan" "9.0" makes no difference. in ati catalyst center i did not find the option at all... _________________ I do not have a Superman complex, for I am God not Superman

Ah sorry you are right. The TVOverscan option is only for TV-out, not for HDMI. You have to find the option in CCC somewhere.
Google image search turned up this, maybe it will help you find the option: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/121/ccce.jpg/ |
