Bryce, sorry for delayed reply. Yes, I am still interested. I completely
forgot about the issue until a couple of weeks ago. With fully up-to-
date gutsy, I had to do a presentation and my vga out didn't work at
all. Then I found on the web to use
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" # "COMPOSITE"
in my "Screen" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This worked on my two vga monitor (one analog and one digital) but
DIDN'T work on the projector, even though I changed resolution to the
usual 1024x768 and the frequency reported by the screen resolution
properties was 50 hz (but let me doubt about that :-)) Hence, this bug
is still present in gutsy and was a bad publicity for ubuntu at the
meeting we had (my laptop always worked on that projector until feisty).
Regarding hardy, if I press the key for switching to VGA output on my
laptop (with correct resolution) the only thing that happens is that I
see gtk widgets getting back to the default gtk theme for a moment, and
then to the "human" one. This is quite strange, seems like the gnome-
settings-daemon has been restarted.
In any case, fiddling up with the new tools that were introduced in
hardy, I succeded in having a vga out, but at some strange frequencies
that my external monitor cannot handle... it keeps switching settings (I
hear it clicking) and sometimes for a moment it displays garbled output.
I have now the power charger and the time to debug the issue a little
more so feel free to ask more information. I am running hardy nowadays
so my system is up-to-date for testing.
