[mythtv-users] Radeon 8500, 2.6 kernel and TV-Out

[Jason Elwell]

I was having the same issue with my Radeon 9000. and after trying many 
different configurations I finally came up with this:
Using fglrxconfig I setup the TVout as the primary monitor and my 
monitor as secondary. (I believe it is option (11) in the menu). 

If I remember correctly, for I while I did actually get the it setup 
"properly" with my monitor as primary and my TV as secondary, but then 
found out that the ATI drivers dont support Xv output on the secondary 
monitor.  This left me with a blue screen on the TV while using LiveTV 
and I was forced to use the configuration above.
Now in LiveTV I get output on my TV and the monitor displays the blue 
screen. Eventually I guess I will have to buy an Nvidia card. :(

Hope this helps.
