I did not have to install any Linux stuff. It was kindof tricky to get the TV-out to work because it only works with specific settings in my xorg.conf. The relevant parts from my xorg.conf: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" # TV-Out won't work with anything but VertRefresh 60, it seems: HorizSync 30.0 - 40.0 VertRefresh 60 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Driver "ati" Option "AGPMode" "8" # This option enables TV-output when using patches from # http://megahurts.dk/rune/tv_output.html : Option "TVOutput" "PAL" #Option "IgnoreEDID" "true" #Option "MonitorLayout" "NONE, AUTO" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
