Are you sure you're running at a resolution that your TV supports? I can only use TV-out on my laptop if I have X running at 800x600 or lower. I run at 1400x1050 by default which does nothing when I try to activate the TV display. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
