Title: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets Status in xf86-video-intel: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The -intel driver does not support TV out through DVO, which is used by many 8xx-based laptops, and at this time upstream has no plans for implementing support. The specifications for the chips (chrontel) have been published, so it is feasible for someone outside Intel to implement support by writing an appropriate DVO driver. There are several LVDS and TMDS DVO drivers already included in the -intel tree that could be used as examples. [Original Bug Report] I use an Intel Centrino chipset on a Dell Inspiron 510m. My hardware ID is: ab4d55311e734d27f3679e60a3ba8604 I apologise if I got the source package incorrect. What I was attempting to achieve was to output a video of the Guadec conference, which was playing on my screen, to the Television via my S-Video connector. I plugged everything in and pushed the function key with "CRT/LCD". The screen had a white flicker in it whenever I pushed the button but, aside from that, nothing happened. What I expected to happen was for the TV to mirror what was on my screen. My resolution was set to 1400x1050 but the same occurs when this is reduced to 1280x1024 (the lowest in the list).
