I have an ATI Radeon 7000 with TV out connector. If I connect the TV
and boot the PC, the video card puts itself in a sort of
'TV-compatible' mode (i.e. it uses 50Hz horizontal refresh rate to
avoid burning the TV), so during the boot I see the MDK logo and
writings on TV.
The problem is that, with the 50Hz rate, X refuses to start with the
message Cannot find suitable screen.
I saw in the XF86Config file that there is already a modeline suitable
for TV-out, but how do I enable it?
thanks,

I also had this card. The only way I could get tv out working under X
was to change to the frambuffer driver (radeon FBDEV if i rememer
correctly), and use 800x600 resolution. Unfortunately XV didn't seem
to work with this driver so i could not watch movies full screen without
dropped frames. I think the GATOS project might be able to make tv out
work properly using the ATI.2 driver, google for it. Never got it to
work properly before I sold the card. Hope this helps.
