Hi all
Since the old i810 driver is no longer in the repos (since intrepid) the
solution i posted on ubuntuforums.org is not working anymore. The new
Intel drivers have no support for TV-OUT on the 855gm.
The only way to get a working TV-out is switching back to hardy (8.04)
because the old i810 is available there.
With the following lines i've got the tv-out working:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics
Device"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "MonitorLayout" "TV,LFP"
Option "Clone" "yes"
EndSection
Restart xorg and then there should be appear a part of your desktop on
the TV. To get color and the right resolution you need this patched nvtv

xrandr will not work with the old driver so you dont need it for this
solution.
This works for me on a Thinkpad R51 with 855gm and a chrontel7011.
Hope this helps
