The following is pasted from an earlier post, by Nils:

I've tried to complete and summarize your advices in this short
Radeon-TV-Out-Howto:

git-ati-driver:
---------------
1. First make sure you back up the existing radeon (radeon_drv.so) and ati
(ati_drv.so) drivers.
2. install the xorg-dev, mesa-dev, xserver-dev, drm-dev packages for your
distro
3. git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
4. cd xf86-video-ati
5. git checkout origin/randr-1.2  (Git-Version 1.5)
    git checkout randr-1.2 (Git-Version 1.4)
6. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr (or any home-directory, but then you have to
copy the files manual to the correct directory)
7. make
8. (sudo) make install (or copy the files radeon_drv.so/ati_drv.so)


xrandr:
--------
1. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xrandr
2. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
3. make
4. make install


-> restartX and activate the S-video port:
---------------------------------------------------
1.) xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
2.) xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
-- 

Cheers, Leon.
