- Note Method 2 Users: Before you carry out this step you must reboot your machine. Or else the fglrx driver will not be in use on xorg.conf and using the aticonfig options will cause a memory dump and not intialise the Driver properly.
- Note: An alternative to the aticonfig --initial command is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the string "ati" with "fglrx" in the "Device" section. This way you won't lose your old "Screen" and "Monitor" settings. Afterwards you can use aticonfig for setting overlay etc. Another alternative is aticonfig --initial --force if you encounter issues with the first command.
Configure the Driver
sudo aticonfig --initial
Then:
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
- Note: Alternative in the overlay-type to "Xv" can be "opengl" or "disable" if the TV-out makes problems in videos.
[edit] Alternative: Configure the Driver, The Manual Way:
An alternative to the "sudo aticonfig" commands is to edit "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and change the "Device" section for the video card as shown below. This way you won't lose your old settings.
gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device" [...] # Driver "vesa" Driver "fglrx" Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" [...] EndSection
[edit] TV - Out
The composite TV-Out is not working simultaneously with the VGA on my System. To use it I have turned the VGA off and only the TV on. Attention! This command turns off your Monitor!!
sudo aticonfig --enable-monitor=tv
To change back to VGA:
sudo aticonfig --enable-monitor=crt1
Some have had luck with both mirrored.
sudo aticonfig --force-monitor=crt1 sudo aticonfig --enable-monitor=crt1,tv
reboot after that and it should mirror the CRT1 onto the TV.
