[ACPI-sppt] Re: [xine-user] Need help with XVideo output

In my case, to see in TV-out I put my savage in PAL mode, and restart X
I had install last acpi patch for kernel and acpid, the first time, I
have to press 2 times in fn+F3, to get image in my TV.

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.pal /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
