By the way, is TV output supported in new iBooks (the one with the M7 chip)?
External VGA works great (once linux has detected the monitor), but I can not get TV output working although XFree (4.2.1) detects the TV. P.S. Yes, I'm talking about the iBook rev2.2 (not TiBook). I'm using the Apple Video Adapter with S-Video & Composite Video outputs.
