Hiya folks,
great presentation by Jim Elliott I thought. Very insightful, and
somewhat reassuring that an organization like IBM can embrace chance
like they did. Bravo.
Now on to my question: I am running the latest distro of Ubuntu (5.04)
and I need to get my TV-out working. I have been referred to
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/atitvout but, being a serious
n00b, I can't get it working.
Can someone please help me with this?
Which ATI card do you have? I know that for Radeon 8500s and up the
Firegl (ATI Driver) has TVout support built in. I have not tried it but
you enable TVout when running through the fglrxconfig script. It asks you.
I am not that experienced with debian but you could just try and install
the ati rpms from there site using alien (if that's right). Better yet I
am sure someone on the list can point you at some pre-made ati driver debs.
Now I don't know how familar you are with TVout but you will need to
also set the right resolution for the TV. TV with SVideo In can probably
do 800x600 @ 60Hz but some will do more. Pretty much every TV can handle
640x480 @ 60Hz so you should start with that resolution.
For anything before an 8500, you probably want to look at the Gatos Project.
