I got it working for TV out after following the "threefiftyinstallation". It wouldn't boot using the config that goes in the etc/x11 directory (cant remember the name). When I set the link back to the old config, BAM the TV out worked, I scratched my head, and then realized all the menus were still on the monitor. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The trouble lies in it cant find the pci device with the numbers I put in. When I did the lookup for numbers thing (im not home right now, going off memory after a turkish cig) to find the pci address. Mine came up exactly like the one on the wiki, so I followed thru with those digits, but the log keeps telling me it cant find the device at pci adress blah blah blah.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I know this isnt good, my description and all, maybe someone reckognizes or has an off the top response, other than that, don't give it much thought.
