Try the following:
Boot with the tv connected to the svideo port.
Start X with the 'vesa' driver, and with a resolution < 1024x768
Do:
#atitvout -f pal*
#atitvout -f t
*I use ntsc so I have no idea if this will help, it's the -f (or -r depending
on your chipset**)
**Don't believe the man page section entitled 'MISC' which says to use -f for
Rage Mobility and -r for Radeon. If one doesn't work try the other.
Also, if you lose both displays, try typing atvtvout -f l to force the lcd
back on.
Even when it works for me, it's not perfect (I have the M9), but good luck.
