Denis,<br><br>You'll want to setup your device and screen sections similar to this:<br><br><pre>Section "Device"<br> Identifier "RADEON-TVOut"<br> Driver "radeon"<br> Option "AGPMode" "4"
<br> Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes"<br> Option "TVOutput" "NTSC"<br> Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"<br> Option "MonitorLayout" "NONE, CRT" #here it is!
<br> EndSection<br><br> Section "Monitor"<br> Identifier "TV Monitor"<br> HorizSync 30.0 - 40.0<br> VertRefresh 60<br> Modeline "800x600" 40.00 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628
<br> EndSection<br><br> Section "Screen"<br> Identifier "TV Screen"<br> Device "RADEON-TVOut"<br> Monitor "TV Monitor"<br> DefaultDepth 16
<br> SubSection "Display"<br> Depth 16<br> Modes "800x600"<br> EndSubSection<br> EndSection</pre><br>You'll need to add another monitor (your tv) with the correct vert refresh and horiz sync. You can find this either on the back of the television or in the user manual.
