@rr Expanding on igor's guide, the commands you want to run are the following (exactly what I did)
user@linux:~$ sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub-ORIG user@linux:~$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub Look for this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= And change the end to this: "nomodeset" Save the file with Ctrl+X (press Y to write to the file) Now type: user@linux:~$ ls /etc/modprobe.d/ and look for this file: radeon-kms.conf If it does not exist, create it: user@linux:~$ sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf Then open the file in nano: user@linux:~$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf Add this line: options radeon modeset=0 Save it with Ctrl+X (press Y to write to the file) Reboot the machine After login connect svideo and run this: xrandr -s 800x600 xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 (don't forget to set the PAL option here if you need to) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573550 Title: ati radeon xpress 200M no s-video output, no tv screen detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/573550/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
