The propery is called 'tv standard', so you'd need to do something like xrandr --output S-video --set 'tv standard' pal/ntsc > Also, if the timings are fixed, then this could 'simply' mean that my > TV (which is rather old) is 'not-compatible'. > If that is so, how the hell does the windows driver 'manage'? > It means the driver doesn't work properly for your card for some reason. Does ums work any better? There were some bugs in the kms tv-out code that were fixed for 2.6.34, so you might try that. Can you post a picture of the problem somewhere?
