Thanks, I'll take a look when I have more than 30 seconds to spare.
(That reminds me.  I was pleased that my Wacom just worked, sensitivity
and everything, when I installed 10.10 from scratch.  That was a nice bonus :)



 It's almost identical to udev, and modrprobe stuff - where you put files
 with config stuff in the directory and assign a priority with a number
 at the start of the file name.
 
 As for the S-video part, what brand of card and which driver are you using?

As Brian mentioned, it's an integrated Intel in this Dell Inspiron 1525.
Specifically, lspci shows:

  Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)


PS - I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.10 to KDE 4.6 yesterday
(via backport mentioned here: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.6 ),
and today I had to do this to get my display to work right:

Things were not updating unless I forced them to fully refresh
(alt+tab, cover/expose, wiggle mouse, etc.).  Very hard to use my
computer. :)

So I'm not even using precisely the same video driver as I was when I posted
yesterday.  Fun :^P

FYI, this looks kind of like it's what I need, but it's been about 3 years
since I last had to set up S-Video out on this laptop.

So my thought is to just dump that into a 10-video.conf file...?
