I downloaded the linux drivers from ATI website. The rpm they have didn't work since it's missing a dependency that yum doesn't install. So I downloaded the 40 mb installer and ran it. I did the following in the terminal. aticonfig --help ( This explains how to setup your driver for a tv ) aticonfig --initial aticonfig --enable-monitor=tv --tv-standard-type=VIDEO and that's it. Start kdm from the console. Selinux needs to be disabled or a new policy created that allows the driver to function. Otherwise X doesn't start.

Hi again Ej! Thanks for the report. I recently picked up a 16MB video card at a used shop (about $3 if I recall) and it has video in/out. I now enjoy the increased screen resolution (1280x1024 @ 32bits) and after this exchange will find a cord to test the video out. We have a new camcorder and so the video in may prove useful (USB already is useful). SELinux is certainly on my reading/learning list! Here is a starter I found on the web: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/writing_SELinux_policy_guide/index.html Enjoy! Tod
