Nikos,
   Thanks for responding. I apprecaite it.

~arch on xf86-video-ati, xorg-server or both? I prefer to stay with
non-~arch when possible.

I've got a 9100 IGP which is listed as R200 technology. I need to use
the TV Out S-Video on my machine but cannot find very good
instructions on creating the right xorg.conf file.

Thanks,
Mark
