s-video out + radeon 9000

Asked by STempler

I am trying to push my video out to my HDTV through the S-Video port on Feisty. I would prefer to extend the desktop onto the second display, but would be just as happy with a cloned display. I have tried "atitvout" and it recognizes my tv but will not start the service. I am not currently near the
TV to check again but I believe it said the "VBE" could not be run. I am running a mobility radeon 9000 on a Dell inspiron Laptop. I am using the open source driver that I installed using this guide;
