Hi Tom,

Thanks for providing the DRMDEBUG dmesg.  For some reason the
inteldrm(4) code detects a connection on the S-Video connector.  Since
the default is to mirror the console framebuffer on all connected
outputs, the framebuffer is configured as 848x480 such that the full
contents are visible on both outputs.

It seems this model does indeed have a S-Video output.  Do you have
that hooked up to something?

Cheers,

Mark
