Hi, I'm running Linux Suse 8.2 with a ATI Radeon 7500 graphics card (RV200 QW chip set). I use xine to watch movies, which works perfectly fine with my normal computer monitor. The resolution is 1280x1024 with 3D hardware acceleration enabled. So far so good. However, the ATI Radeon 7500 has TV out as well. -1- Whenever I connect the TV with the graphics card _after_ my linux box has booted, the TV remains black. Probably, the card checks for a attached TV during startup once and keeps the TV out disabled forever. Correct? Is there a way to connect a TV during normal graphics card operation? -2- Whenever I connect the TV with the graphics card _before_ the computer is booted, the xserver crashes and says: /var/log/messages: ...
