This is a cool bug!

I have ATI AiW 128 Pro 16 Mb card with TV-out. This is a Page 128 Pro PF
chip, I belive. I get no output on display when I start xfree86 
with TV plugged in. Everything works without TV.

Let's be fair, switching to virtual console works and I can do work there,
so it's not a complete freeze or crush - just no signal in graphics mode
with TV in.

Let's be fair once more, Windows 98 also behaves funny. Plugging in TV
halves the refresh rate or something. Sort of, the card splits the signal
into two outputs, to TV and to the monitor, but at least I get the signal.
TV requires 800x600 at 60 Hz signal; without TV I get 120 Hz on the monitor
at the same resolution.
 
Mike, as far as Red Hat 8.0.94 goes, anaconda fails to recognize the card 
properly when the TV is plugged in. I recognizes it as Rage 128, instead of
Rage 128 Pro. Then, graphical installation doesn't work, etc. Without 
TV everything works like a magic.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,
Alexei
