So far I only see a black and white picture on the TV-set. And yes: it's actually a color TV ... :) The TV-Set is a very cheap one - small screen - not too many specs available from the manual: All this works here: ------------------------------------- $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 7447A, altivec supported clock : 833.333000MHz revision : 0.5 (pvr 8003 0105) bogomips : 16.57 timebase : 8320000 platform : PowerMac machine : PowerBook5,8 motherboard : PowerBook5,8 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (PowerBook G4 15") pmac flags : 00000019 L2 cache : 512K unified pmac-generation : NewWorld -------------------------------------- For those interested: Quick HOW-TO: ------------------------------------------------- git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati cd xf86-video-ati ./autogen.sh MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-4.1" make Then copy the ati_drv.so and radeon_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ ------------------------------------------------- [Anyone can tell me whether it is enough to just copy ati_drv.so and radeon_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ to get the relevant drivers to this computer installed?] Don't do this last 'cp' step while you're in a running X: You might get thrown own out of it immediately as soon as you do a - IIRC - cp radeon_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ Don't!! ... :) Only ssh was my friend after screwing up X, *immediately*, IIRC, after the mentioned 'cp': even the console became unusable after I tried to switch to the (empty?) X xcreen via <ALT>-<F7> To get the screen cloned to my telly: $ xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1 $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 2720 x 1024 LVDS connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1440x960 59.9 + 1280x800 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 300mm x 225mm 1280x1024 60.0* 1280x960 59.9 1280x800 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 85.0 84.9 75.1 70.1 60.0 800x600 84.9 85.1 75.0 60.3 640x480 85.0 84.6 75.0 60.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 S-video connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800x600 59.9 + 60.3 $ xrandr --output S-video --auto All this is done here with KDM/KDE on the alubook: Windows seem to get automatically resized when I clone them to the telly. ... The trick I use to get the complete LCD screen to the external screen (VGA or TV-set) is always the same: I switch off my LCD: xrandr --output LVDS --off and after that the screen on the VGA/TV is complete. On the TV-set, that is, nearly complete: its corners are rounded, contrary to the LCD, where they're angular.
