Thanks for your reply! <br><br>The link you sent me is only valid for the ATI proprietary drivers, but the Radeon 9250 is not supported by the current proprietary drivers, so I'm using the open source ones. Anyone in this list has a working configuration for TV Out with a radeon board using the open source drivers? I want to be able to use only a TV connected to the TV Out, without any monitor connected to the VGA output.<br>

The way you're doing it adds a 'clone' screen which copies the main screen. If there's no main screen (i.e. no VGA monitor) then there's nothing to clone, hence no output on the TV. What you need to do is to configure your xorg.conf to use the tv connector - this will involve adding entries to the "Device" section, and possibly some "modes" sections too. I don't know how to do this for ATI as I'm an NVIDIA man, but you could try this:<br>

Or Google "ati tv out xorg.conf" or something like that.<br>
