The radeon driver does not support tv-out at all :-(

I managed to get an Asus Pundit-R system with Radeon 9100 video working
using FC2 with Xorg 6.7. The current (November 2004) ATI driver does not
support Xorg 6.8 (I tried first with FC3) and so I reinstalled with FC2 and
the ATI driver then worked over the S-Video output on the video card. This
was using *only* the SVIDEO output for X, not using clone mode.

ATI's support is annoyingly slow, to say the least.

 If you want to stick to FC3, I would wait for ATI to bring out their new
linux driver (should be this month) which should support Xorg 6.8 and give
full TVout and overscan support. If this happens, I'm probably going to
switch back from using X on my 350 to the TV out of the Radeon and reinstall
FC3, as it will hopefully let me get the whole desktop displayed on the
screen without overscan issues that are present on the PVR350.

If it is very desperate, you could try uninstalling Xorg 6.8 and going back
to Xorg 6.7, which I think I read *should* work.

Hope this helps,
