<div>As suggested below, the real solution to my problem would be a working video driver... I've given up completely on the proprietary driver as absolutely none of the xorg options make any difference whatsoever to the output of my onboard YUV tv-out (b/w 800x600 -- useless!)

<div>I've got an xorg.conf as per <a href="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/radeon?highlight=%28radeon%29">http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/radeon?highlight=%28radeon%29</a> and I've tried twiddling frame buffer & DMA options (the only settings with mention of video or Xv in 'man radeon' but to no effect.

<div>Any tips</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
