I have installed gentoo on a gateway laptop, with an ATI mobility 9000 |
2 |
radeon video adaptor. Once I have xorg installed, and ati-drivers |
3 |
(proprietary), tvout was pretty easy to set up using ati's setup |
4 |
utility, fglrxconfig and a couple of easy changes to |
5 |
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. |

However, I am having trouble trying to show my classes a dvd, because |
8 |
on the TV, the video frame is completely solidly dark blue. |

Preliminary investigation suggests this may be related to "xv". I |
11 |
don't understand this, and my attempts to edit some parameters in |
12 |
xorg.conf have failed. I followed an instruction on one of the |
13 |
howtos or faqs to not enable dri in the kernel. |

Where can I find a relatively understandable explantion of this |
16 |
effect? I saw a similar behavior with xinerama and a Matrox G450 with |
17 |
two heads: one head didn't show the graphics in the frame in some |
18 |
cases. |
