Same problem is happening on my Acer Aspire 2920 subnotebook. Ubuntu 12.04 Precise is able to detect TV output, as you can see on command below:
user@leo-subnote:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 800, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 261mm x 163mm 1280x800 60.0*+ 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 640x480_60.00 59.4 TV1 connected 640x480+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 848x480 59.9 + 640x480 59.9 + 1024x768 59.9 800x600 59.9 640x480_60.00 59.4* Ignore last TV1 and VGA1 modes. I added manually for testing purposes, to no avail. I tested S-Video on Windows XP and it's working fine. Didn't tested on older Ubuntu versions, though. I'll try applying Robert Lowert's patch on my subnotebook somehow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763688 Title: [915GM] S-video output doesn't work in Natty (i386) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/763688/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
