Thanks!! That fixed building and installing.

Next question: is this supported by my card (rv200)
lspci |grep -i rad
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility
M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
?

Because I get the following:

leon@shpritsz:~/build/git/xf86-video-ati$ xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
usage: xrandr [options]
  where options are:
  -display <display> or -d <display>
  -help
  -o <normal,inverted,left,right,0,1,2,3>
            or --orientation <normal,inverted,left,right,0,1,2,3>
  -q        or --query
  -s <size>/<width>x<height> or --size <size>/<width>x<height>
  -r <rate> or --rate <rate> or --refresh <rate>
  -v        or --version
  -x        (reflect in x)

More info, I get the following warnings:

Do I need to add some options to /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

I switch successfully to tv-out when I use atitvout and lower resolution
600x800 in alternative xorg.conf.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers, Leon.
