Comment 1 Egbert Eich 2008-11-18 11:40:15 UTC 
From the log:

(II) RADEONHD(0): Rejected mode "1920x540" (1920x540:74.2Mhz): interlace mode not supported
(II) RADEONHD(0): Rejected mode "1920x540" (1920x540:74.2Mhz): interlace mode not supported

your TV wants interlaced modes. None of us was able to check if they are actually working for digital outputs.
Thus they are simply rejected for any digital output.
So this is not a bug. It could be considered as a missing feature. Interlaced just isn't supported for the output you are using. This is intentional and it will most likely not change unless a developer gets face time with a TV set like yours tests and fixes it if necessary.
Comment 2 Christoph 2008-11-18 11:56:39 UTC 
Thx for quick reply!
But my TV is capable of 1080p (progressive scan, Vollbilder).
DVI@1080p@fglrx is working!?!
Comment 3 Christian König 2008-11-18 12:13:09 UTC 
The common HDMI modes like 576p/720p/1080p are encoded in the E-EDID sections, which in turn is not decoded by radeonhd/xserver.

I have a beta patch ready for this in my pipeline, but not much time bring it into shape at the moment.
Comment 4 Christoph 2008-11-18 12:49:42 UTC 
This would be great and appreciated by all VDR users!
Comment 5 Egbert Eich 2008-11-19 08:53:43 UTC 
Reassigning to Christian Koenig.
Comment 6 Christian König 2008-11-26 16:14:32 UTC 
Just pushed my "EEDID support hack" to my personal repository.
You can checkout a copy of this repository with:

git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~deathsimple/xf86-video-radeonhd/

This patch should help with your problem, please test it and report back any results.

Comment 8 Christoph 2008-11-27 12:59:51 UTC 
This did not work, the only difference in the output is:

(II) RADEONHD(0): Mapped IO @ 0xfdce0000 to 0xb7b2a000 (size 0x00010000) (old)
(II) RADEONHD(0): Mapped IO @ 0xfdce0000 to 0xb7add000 (size 0x00010000) (new)
Comment 9 Christian König 2008-11-27 14:51:34 UTC 
(II) RADEONHD: version 1.2.3, built from dist of git branch master, commit 57aca005

You are still running commit 57aca005, so something went wrong with the installation of radeonhd. I just send you a mail with more detailed installation instructions.
Comment 10 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-10-16 15:58:56 UTC 
Does this issue occur with the preferred ati driver (xf86-vide-ati)?  If so, please move this to the Driver/Radeon component.  

Development of radeonhd has pretty much halted and development focus is on the ati driver.  Please see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd

If the issue does not exist in the ati driver (or if there is no response to this message), this bug will be closed as WONTFIX unless someone contributes a patch.
Comment 11 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-11-07 15:04:29 UTC 
Closing due to lack of response.  Please reopen and move to the Driver/Radeon 
component if this issue persists with xf86-video-ati
