The black and white issue of Visitor.Q is almost certainly cabling. It's an easy mistake to make since everyone seems to have one of those S-video adapters with the yellow RCA plug on the other end. If you plug that into a yellow "composite" input to a television, you get black and white. I saw the black/white issue until I bought a cable with 4-pin S-video ports on both ends and used that. Short summary, if you feed S-video output to composite input, you're probably going to get black and white as the result.
Someone above mentioned that the S-video out only works when you boot the computer with the S-video cable installed. It continues to work until you've reset the X server without the S-video cable installed. Once you restart the X server without an S-video cable, then it will not work again (even if you replace the cable) until the next reboot. Another comment above asked for testing with Intrepid. I've upgraded to Intrepid, and I have the GM965 chipset on my Inspiron 1520. I still see the described behavior. The only way to get S-Video output to work is to boot with the S-video cable plugged in, and once you've lost it it is gone until the next reboot. -- intel GM965 (X3100) no TV-Out (S-Video) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
