Knoppix5 gives basically the same info except that the 1st, 4th & 5th above
are all listed as Processor to I/O Controllers
It only appears to have loaded video module??
See above, What Driver Does It Use?
Try looking at xorg.conf to see if some setup program has specified a driver.
If not then the driver is probably being automatically started after a
probe, so look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what driver is
being loaded.
Its *probably* the i810 driver, in which case your first port of call is
man i810
followed by googling 855M tvout and other combinations of the chipset
name and/or xorg and/or TV and/or tvout and/or svideo
Thanks for the replies Nick. I tried 2 tvs, dmesg says driver is i915 .
Web searches only found problems not solutions. Is vga to rca a possibility?
