I've tried both radeon and fglrx. I'm not really sure which one to
use. It seems that some Gentoo online docs say to use fglrx but I seem
to get the better results with radeon. The fglrx driver doesn't output
on the S-Video port for me. It's switching the monitor back on
instead. There's probably settings I need to edit by hand.

I'm wondering if the scan rate is supposed to be the VGA rate of 31Hz?

Thanks,
Mark
