Ati HD Analog monitor + hdtv

[Mike65]

Hy!
Im using mint 7. I have an ati HD3650 card and the new catalyst 9.9. My problem is that i cant setup the resolution of the tv. It always reset when i turn off then back on the tv. I was set the options with the gnome screen setup, because catalyst needs super user mode and i dont know howto start it from terminal. Maybe if i can start catalyst with root the problem will be solved.

You must misunderstand something here - the driver is nothing you control directly
I think you refer to the Catalyst Control Center and it does not need to be run as root
However you need to run

Code: Select all

sudo aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1 

if you make changes in xorg.conf

The reason that ati catalyst cant set the monitors was xandr 1.2. I was find a solution to disable it:

Code: Select all

Edit /etc/ati/amdpcsdb
In the section labeled [AMDPCSROOT/SYSTEM/DDX]
add this:

EnableRandR12=Sfalse

Also, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the "Device" section add:

Option      "EnableRandR12" "false"

now the only problem is my lcd tv becomes my primary monitor, and i dont know how to change it yet.
