I have installed the long waited ati-drivers-9.8 with kernel>=2.6.29 support. After the installation all seemed as it would be OK. But after I turened on the TV i saw that the image is "jumping" and there are no colors. I have tried to modify the xorg.conf but the problem remained. I have tried to downgrade the driver but the problem persisted (Yes it is _very_ annoying). After playing a day with the drivers I found out what is the problem: The TV is in NTSC-JPN mode not in PAL-B - despite the Option "TVFormat" "PAL-B" line in the Device section of xorg.conf. This was found out by xrandr --screen 1 --prop command. which gave tv_format:NTSC-JPN Then I have tried to change this setting but xrandr --screen 1 --output TV --set tv_format PAL-B gave error (the error was something about incorrect numbers) the xrandr --screen 1 --output TV --set tv_format pal-b command does not gave error but didn't worked either. Please hard mask these packages, because the problem persist if you dowgrade the driver. Reproducible: Always

Solved! I have removed /etc/ati/ reinstall the driver, then atconfig -tvf PAL-B all OK.
