Here's what I have: TV1 connected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 848x480 30.0 + 640x480 30.0 + 1024x768 30.0 800x600 30.0* 60.3 > 2. xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 This ran: xrandr --addmode TV1 800x600 > 3. xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 --crtc 1 This ran after a while, although I initially got a "cannot find crtc for output": xrandr --output TV1 --mode 800x600 --crtc 1 > 4. xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1 xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1 Found Xv 2.2 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 132 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 13 () Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 14 This step doesn't work. I hear some sound indicating that the TV is responding somewhat, but it doesn't seem to work. I'll keep trying, but if you have additional insights, do let me know. Thanks!
