Journal Mr Guy's Journal: ATI Radeon 7000 and Linux 12
I've tried asking this a few other places without much luck and tried searching for the answer, can anyone help?
I'm trying to make a tv front end with an ATI Radeon 7000 card. I tried used the config file from http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Radeon7000Page among others.
The issue I'm having is that gibberish comes up on the TV screen. It's kinda hard to describe which is why I'm not sure how to look for a better answer. It's like the screen has been divided into horizontal strips and layed back down on a diagonal. The colors look sorta right, and I can pick out some features on the screen, but there are these diagonal blocky bars fuzzing up the screen. The best description I can come up with is that it's like a houndstooth pattern has been put over top of a faded view of what my screen should look like.
It's driving me nuts, and it's the last thing I need to figure out to get my dedicated mythfrontend built out of spare parts.

I have the monitor set at 30-50 horizontal and 60 vertical already, but I'll give the vesa thing a go.

This of course restricts me to always running in 640x resolution, but I really only want to play videos on it so that was enough to get basic fb-based vlc working for the most part. I did try twiddling around with the TV-out registe
