Good start, I'm still trying to decide if I can get my study machine 
wired into the TV in the living room.  Snag is I didn't buy the graphics 
card with the intention of driving a TV so the internet's not great for 
advice on ATI Radeon 9200 graphics and linux. Still I've downloaded the 
drivers etc. I'm just trying to figure if its possble to driver the 
monitor and the TV on seperate resolutions.

I found the hue controls after I posted and it does alter the hue but 
the color distort doesn't get any better.  Typical just as I get it to 
work..

I'll check the lead first methinks..
