I too have a laptop with an ATI Rage Mobility M(1). I would be interested in any code/information you have about the TV Out support. So far I have only managed to get TV Out in console mode by the following steps: 1. Start Windows 2. Set Primary adapter to TV-Out 3. "Restart in MS-DOS mode" 4. Start Linux with loadlin Can you give any more details about the steps you took in using an 'emulator program' to trace the port accesses? Thanks.
