tv out for all in wonder card
Hey all,
I know this has been covered a bunch of places and i've looked through most of them. The problem is that i can't seem to find the difference or problem with my x-config file.
ok a little back history and information.
I am using my old desktop as a bit of an all purpose server.... natural choice of linux.
I opted for debian sarge.
i have everything set up nicely (except print sharing damn hp doesn't give out windows .inf files for the printer :evil: ) but now i've decided to do more.
The plan is to make a game station out of it with emulators, as well as a place to watch media files. It has the original radeon all in wonder card from ati (32mb agp).
For some reason or another i can't get X to work under the composite tv out.
debian has a package called which finds that the card is connected to a tv.... and i can "turn on" the signal to the tv...
but when i start X all i get is a white screen.
and whats worse, when i ctrl-alt-backspace out, i get fuzzy unreadable lines for the command line.
when i first boot i can use the command line just fine and dandy.
Here is my relavent X-config file
