Mark,

I was trying to hint at the fact you waited only 5 hours before
assuming no-one had read your message, and then posted another message
(which offered no more information).

Onto the real business:

i) Which version of the fglrx driver have you patched?
ii) Are you ouputting to NTSC or PAL?
iii) What resolution are you wanting to run on the TV?
