Hi!

Has anyone succeeded getting radeon tv-out working with ATI Mobility
Radeon X700 in PAL mode? I'm getting NTSC out ok (that does not look so
nice with with PAL TV) but when trying PAL I get just gray fuzz.

I'm using the instructions in the link below. Currently I'm forced to
use the driver in Fedora RPM xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.192-1.fc8 as with
latest git version I get just an error:

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(II) Module already built-in

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:

XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":2.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

If you only have tv-out attached, you won't detect any attached
outputs if the tvdac is shared with latest git.  the problem is the
dvi port and the tv-out share the same dac so I disabled load
detection by default because tv-out detection will detect monitors and
vice versa.  I'm not sure if there is a good way around that.  you can
force the output on my adding a monitor section and linking it to the
S-video port.  PAL is currently busted and I'm not sure why as of yet.
