</div>AFAIK there is no good documentation. If you run<br>
aticonfig --help<br>
there are a log of configurable options that eventually<br>
get set in xorg.conf, but under different names than<br>
the aticonfig uses, so about all you can do is change<br>
one option at a time using aticonfig and see what the<br>
xorg.conf file looks like (there are some options to<br>
force ports to be always on, and some always off,<br>
and some values of screen sizes and horizontal<br>
and vertical rates that might be able to be set in a<br>
way to force a particular resolution; using the values<br>
from the logs when things work might be a hint).<br>
<br>
If you do figure things out, perhaps you should create<br>
an appropriate wiki entry (I have this vague recollection<br>
that there is a linux ati users wiki).<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>

Switching off the power management deals with screen saver, monitor switching off and things like that but can't fix the HDMI dead output. Unfortunately the xrandr command I had biggest hopes for didn't work either.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The former LG TV must had been doing some HDMI wake up or something when switching from TV to HDMI input. Or kept all outputs under power/active in all times where is with today's power saving TV's this is not the case. I guess it's just a bad combination of ATI driver and TV, the driver fails waking up the HDMI and the TV not helping about this at all.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also noticed that when switching from HDMI1 where MythTV is hooked on to HDMI4 where my DVD surround system is connected and back also produces blank screen.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll try to dig out something from aticonfig that might help.
