I'm sorry for some off-topic but could you give me any advice how to use TV-Out
with Radeon 9600 in Xorg xserver 1.5 (Kubuntu 8.10)? I've used TV-Out in
Kubuntu 6.06 without problems and later I used fglrx but now I'd like to use
only xorg-driver-ati as it's far better than fglrx. I've switched
load_detection to 1 on S-video output with xrandr and it seems that my TV is
recognized (checked that by pluging and unplug S-video cable) but the only one
mode which I can use is 800x600 59.9Hz:
$ xrandr --prop
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1680 x 1200
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
        load_detection: 1 (0x00000001) range:  (0,1)
DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 330mm
x 270mm

        load_detection: 1 (0x00000001) range:  (0,1)
   800x600        59.9 +
$

I could use 1024x768 (I don't remember the refresh rate) some time ago (with
Kubuntu 6.06 xorg-driver-ati and later with fglrx). I've tried all tv-standards
supported by my card and driver (pal, ntsc, pal-60, pal-m,...) but I get
nothing on my (old CRT) TV but some little noise on black screen. I've tried to
switch it in Clone mode or Dualhead but without any luck. I think it might be
because of resolution/refresh rate used by card.
I've tried some 'googling' but without any luck, too. Could you please give
some modelines to use with xrandr to switch on TV? (and how to use them)
