Tv-out in black and white (ati - fglrx driver)

Hello!

I recently upgraded from Fedora Core 3 to ubuntu. Its great to be back to a debian based distro

I have one problem though. My tv-out from my laptop is only showing black and white. I am on a dell inspiron 8600c with a ati mobility 9600. I am using the fglrx driver from the universe repository ( i think).

The thing is, that i had a working cfg in fedora core 3, and i am using the same xorg.conf. I get a picture, dual head and all.. only no colors.

Anyone have a clue as to what could be the issue? Could it be the driver version?

This is my xorg.conf:

I solved this problem by configuring the TV (signal type). You can try this.
