I use Xubuntu 11.10 too and I confirm that this bug does exist. Some time ago I had a need to connect my Acer Extensa 4220 laptop to a TV set via S-Video. I could see options window and choose "TV out" on the screen of my laptop but TV set screen stayed black. Then I had done a series of experiments with Ubuntu LiveCD's and I had stated that it was alright in Ubuntu 10.10 and something went wrong in Ubuntu 11.04. With Ubuntu 10.10 I could see image both on my laptop screen and a TV set via S-Video connection.
I see people having - I guess - the same problem with Ubuntu and another distros, with new kernels and drivers too: http://www.linuxine.com/story/ubuntu-no-s-video-out-1104-intel-945gm http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=268870 http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-user/559119-s-video-debian.html So I think the problem still exists and it haven't been solved yet. My solution for now is to use live USB stick with Linux Mint 9 Rosinka (Russian version 'cos I'm from Russia). But I'd like to have a real solution with new kernel, new software, new drivers because using old versions is a step back and sign of regress. This bug should be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763688 Title: [915GM] S-video output doesn't work in Natty (i386) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/763688/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
