Thank you! clone mode works for me. but Xv doesn't, and the performance
is not as good as vidix.

And I have try the following script to make tv out get crtc 0 which I
confirmed with xrandr --verbose, but the X crashes and restarts.


loongson at debian:~/project/x-ati$ cat c2
./a  --addmode S-video 640x480
./a --output VGA-0 --off
./a --output S-video --auto
./a --output S-video --mode 640x480

Tian
