Xorg S-Video

[caleb]

Hi everyone,

             I am having some trouble getting S-Video to work with Xorg. 
My first problem is I do not know where to start, I'm guessing 
xorg.conf. When I plug the S-Video connection into a TV I get no picture 
- Nothing at all(PAL, both TV and BIOS). I am using 6.0 - STABLE on my 
Laptop (Radeon Mobility 9000) with Xorg and Window maker.

  I have found some Linux forums using google and it seems that I need to
add options for S-Video. I do not understand which section of xorg to 
put them under.

Here is an example of what I am finding;

Section "ServerLayout"

#       Option      "Xinerama" "on"
#       Option      "Clone" "on"
         Identifier     "TVLayout"
         Screen      0  "Screentvd0" LeftOf "TV1"
         Screen      1  "TV1" 0 0
         InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
         InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
         RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
         FontPath     "unix/:7100"
EndSection


This is just some of the xorg.conf files that people are posting on the 
web. I am thinking that I need to add 'Screen' and 'Monitor' information 
to my xorg.conf to get S-Video working. I am not sure where to start.

Below I have posted my xorg.conf

Thanks,

Caleb.
