How can i get tv out and > secondary display working with randr ? The Rage Mobility P/M is mach64 based. Only the radeon driver has xrandr 1.2 support. The "ati" driver is actually just a wrapper that loads the appropriate real driver depending on what card is detected: ati_misc, r128, or radeon. GATOS only supported TV-out on radeon chip as well. for your chip you can try the following options to enable tv-out, but YMMV. Option "tv_out" "true" Option "tv_standard" "NTSC" or "PAL", etc. Alex |
