<div><br>Denis,<br><br>Going back in the myth-users archives I found a post from me a while ago where I posted my entire xorg.conf. This was my configuration using a regular CRT Tube RCA television with an Nvidia card. Of course you'll have to modify the driver options to suit your ATI card:

<br><br>Most of the time when I needed to switch over to the TV-Output I would change the "Screen" directive under "ServerLayout" to "TV" <br>instead of "LCD" and restart the X Server.
