Hey Richard,
So this Pundit-R is driving the S-Video input on a TV set. (Since
this is what MythTV is for, right?) Anyway, with the fglrx driver I'm
able to get the TV to sync but with the radeon driver I'm not. With
the fglrx driver I'm using:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 21 - 68
VertRefresh 60
Option "DPMS"
DisplaySize 320 180
EndSection
however these settings don't seem to work with the radeon driver. I
just get slumped over picture - rolling/sideways, like all the sync
rates are wrong.
Looking through the log file I see more problems with the AGP
stuff. From dmesg:

I am loading agpgart before radeon:
myth11 root # cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
<SNIP>
# For example:
# 3c59x
agpgart
#fglrx
radeon
myth11 root #
and the modules are loaded:
myth11 root # lsmod

Can you recommend where I'd look to find the right settings for
driving a TV input with the radeon driver and 9100 IGP chipset?
Thanks,
Mark
