After updating to xf86-video-ati from git, the X server starts up, but the TV 
screen is blank.

Using

xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1

crashes the X server. Output of the X server when running xrandr:

Also, xrandr (without parameters) sees some connections that aren't there 
(only the S-Video output is connected):
