Whoops, accidentally read the first post in this thread as the last, and responded accordingly. My bad.

Re: [Bug 6270] Re: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets
Not everyone with these chipsets would be affected, because not everyone with these chipsets has a DVO card. Personally, I've been wanting to get my hands on such a card for several years, but I've never been able to find one.

Re: [Bug 6270] Re: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets
Hi Bryce, thanks for your extended explanation about how things go. I told my feelings as consumer, not open source developer. As open source developer and supporter I am really happy of Intel's open-source-friendly strategy. But as a consumer I am really screwed up about the fact that Windows drivers are complete and Linux drivers are no more. It still does not seem that they want to support a 'market' for desktop Linux users, I know that there is not really one right now but this is not helping creating one. I have tried giving a look to the i810 codebase and intel codebase but could not understand which differing parts are responsible for the TV-OUT, seems like I am not that good. -- [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6270 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 6270] Re: [i855] no support for TV-Out on 8xx chipsets
@craig I only meant to relay my frustration in having an older laptop with old hardware that is not supported even by Intrepid. This bug has been open forever, yet nothing has come of it thus far, other than further complaints. One would figure that after so many complaints Intel would jump in to try to fix this for their Linux users, regardless of the fact that Canonical doesn't seem have anybody on it.

Built in hardware from a 4-year-old laptop should definitely be working by now.
