Has anyone made it to get TV-Out working?

[Elias Gerber <egerber at gmx dot net>]

Hello people.

I built the packages according to your describtion, and it works perfectly, 
except I just can't get the TV-Out working: I have a signal on my tv, but it 
is only black and white, and has a lot of flickering and almost no sharpness 
- seems like something in my XF86Config-4 is set wrong. I tried numerous 
configurations, but none of them seemed to change anything on the TV. The 
only thing that changes the way of the flickering is by changing the 
tv-format in fireglcontrol - but also with that i can't get an usuable image 
on the TV (and I know i have a pal-b tv, with windows it works).

So I would like to ask if anyone has made it to get the TV-Out working in a 
usefull way - if you do so I'dd be glad if you could send me maybe an example 
of your xf86config-4 or any hints you have, so i can see what's going wrong 
on my machine. Slowly I start doubting if it is even possible to get the 
tv-out working in a usefull way in linux..

I am using debian-sarge with a self built kernel 2.6.10, running on an IBM 
Thinkpad T40p.
xfree86 is Version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1.
fglrxinfo says:
elirips at XERXES:/$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY FIRE GL 9000 DDR Pentium 4 (SSE2) (FireGL) 
(GNU_ICD)
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4893 (X4.3.0-8.10.19)

Below you'll find what I tried last in xf86config-4.

I would really appreciate any help - or just a confirmation that is actually 
possible to get it working - I'm really stuck.

Thanks for your help
