Hello, I"m having some issues with the opensource radeon driver's tv-out settings on my ati mobility radeon 9000. I like to use the xrandr interface on my Dell D600 laptop, which is currently running Debian Lenny, 2.6.24, and whatever version of the ati drivers that is currently in testing. <br>
<br>I get the TV to display the same thing as my monitor with the following commands and they work well.<br><br>xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600<br>xrandr --outut LVDS --mode 800x600<br>xrandr --output S-video --set tv_vertical_position 5 --mode 800x00 --same-as LVDS<br>
<br>However, there is a good region at the bottom of the screen that is not covered, because the image of my desktop on the TV is too small. So I'm wondering if there is any overscan setting that exists, or is in the works, and how long before we can expect to see it. I'm also wondering if there is some other possible work around. There is a setting currently available through xrandr to adjust the horizontal size (tv_horizontal_size) but there does not appear to be a command to adjust the vertical size (tv_vertical_size doesn't exist?), which could possibly solve my problem, since even when I have overscan on in Windows XP with the factory drivers, the overscan would leave portions of the screen cutoff.<br>
<br>I also want to report a bug that may be of interest, but I'm not even sure if it is a bug: When I set the S-Video output I like to turn off my monitor with the command xrandr --output LVDS --off. This way I don't feel like I'm putting extra life on my laptop monitor and power sources, when I'm using TV-Out for extended time periods. However, when I do this and try to fullscreen the video player, X completely crashes and takes me back to the gdm. So, I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong or a capability we just don't have yet.<br>
<br>Thanks for taking the time to read this, I tried to keep it short.<br><br><br>
