Dear Linux users,
The s-video from my Ati Radeo 9250 give's me 800x600 resolution with no good fit to my crt Philips screen in Ubuntu 12.04 and Kubuntu.When i use the vga port there's no problem with the resolution.How can i get a beter resolution with my s-video connection?The screen doesn't*recognize my tv.

I'm no ATI expert, but maybe this link can help, it's for MythTV, but should
apply to any Linux distro.

Unfortunately*800x600 is the highest possible resolution for s-video with the open source radeon drivers. Since your card is no longer supported by AMD you're out of luck getting a higher resolution, but you can use extended desktop with the help of xrandr (man xrandr in a terminal).*
To use extended desktop I run this command:*xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 --right-of LVDS --output LVDS --auto &
LVDS is the name of my laptop screen so you need to adjust to whatever you are using.
