<p>I too have problem with the fglrx driver. It seems I'm stuck on this driver untill AMD frees up the cards details, so a fully functionaly open driver can be build. I have used the --geometry fix to get the full screen output corrected, I have a fix in place in .xprofile to set the screen to the full size, instead on the overscan corrected size with black borders.</p>
<p>This all seems to work now, except for video corruption in TV. The first channel get displayed correctly, the next channel that's changed to has a high chance to be displayed all carbled, with deinterlacing all on top of eitherother or with a complete garbled output. Leave TV with Esc and reentering it gives the correct display.</p>
<p>Had anyone been able to fix these issues? It is highly annoying.</p>

This has worked great me, but of course it requires a free slot. (In my case it got a little tricky, because I wanted a low-profile fanless nvidia card with both DVI and s-video/composite outputs, to work with my existing CRT TVs as well future HDTV upgrades.)<br>
