[ltp] radeon pal tv-out with x700

[Daniel Qarras]

Hi Alex,

thanks a lot for your prompt reply. I'll monitor the bug report to see
when it makes sense to do more tests. Regarding startup problem, it
seems that X won't start no matter the configuration or cable
connections. I guess I'll file a bug report to Bugzilla about that.

Cheers!
