anyone know how to fix this? I've used the s-video out and component yellow out. Both result in dark, crappy, black and white image. catalyst says the tv is pal ( it's ntsc here in canada). There's not settingon the tv itself for this so I'm wondering if anyone has a solution. thanks.
 
In CCC - go to TV Properties - Formats. Check Select by Signal Format and then use the dropdown to choose M/NTSC.

Apply/OK and you should be good.

Yep, tried that already. It's only giving me a whole bunch of PAL options. No sign of ntsc. blah!
 
Some of the older ati cards had a jumper on the board to select ntsc or pal. I would pull out the card and check, there might be one.
 
WOOT! Figured it out, I've been using an x800xt bios on my x800xl ( it has the xt core) so I flashed back to stock and it works! Thanks for the help.
