I have installed gentoo on a gateway laptop, with an ATI mobility 9000 radeon video adaptor. Once I have xorg installed, and ati-drivers (proprietary), tvout was pretty easy to set up using ati's setup utility, fglrxconfig and a couple of easy changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
However, I am having trouble trying to show my classes a dvd, because on the TV, the video frame is completely solidly dark blue. Preliminary investigation suggests this may be related to "xv". I don't understand this, and my attempts to edit some parameters in xorg.conf have failed. I followed an instruction on one of the howtos or faqs to not enable dri in the kernel. Where can I find a relatively understandable explantion of this effect? I saw a similar behavior with xinerama and a Matrox G450 with two heads: one head didn't show the graphics in the frame in some cases. Thanks! Alan Davis -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
