[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 6270] Re: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets

2010-12-04 Thread legolas558
Yesterday I collected an (apparently) useful information regarding the i855GM (rev.02) hardware (which I own): after a linux session I rebooted into windows xp, activated the TV-OUT and used it to watch for many hours. Then I rebooted into linux and just before Xorg rewrote the video buffer, I cou

@rolf: indeed I acknowledge that fact, but I am talking to those who have kernel bug 9147, which was also recently suggested to be tied to that SIGIO issue (same URL commented in the relative issue tracker) -- Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244
