S-Video on Compaq Presario 2701US running FC2

[emarquezarreaza]

Hola!!!

Just a few weeks I bought a S-Video to RCA cable to connect my laptop to the TV input.

It works well under WindowsXP, but I haven't been able to make it work under Linux (HRL9, nor FC2). I have built-in ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY (32MB).

It would truly spread the gospel of Linux and Open Source, while I show my friends and family... home pictures, software, application and videos on their TV.

Please, any help it's welcome :)

on my comp i have to have the s-video connected to the tv then turn on my laptop and it boots up with the tv as the monitor but i cant change it back and forth.

i am sure that there is a setting within /etc/X11/xorg.conf that would help control this; but i don't have a lot of experience with ATI cards/drivers
