That's with the dvd player connected, but still disabled.

It is properly detected, so I can enable it. The out-of-range thing stops, and
things work great on my main monitor. GNOME expands the desktop to the
dvd-player, but there's still no signal. Blue, with nothing on it.
xrandr now shows http://pastebin.com/tm5TPgFB

The funniest thing is it detects an "tv" when I connect the composite wire to
the ground wire, (using a screwdriver). So it doesn't really detect anything...
But that's a limitation of the composite signal.

I booted the system with drm.debug=14, and these are the results:
without dvd player: http://pastebin.com/f4ftQBDN
with dvd player: http://pastebin.com/AwzLGwcx
I ran dmesg at the gdm login screen over ssh.

My setup looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfZvJ-WTTXg
Ignore the laptop. I shot the video with fglrx in a good mood. That's very
rare...
