That's a BIOS-dependent fluke, and would only get any kind of results sometimes. For it to really work properly, support for the 8xx series's interface to the additional chips that series used for TV-out must be added to the upstream -intel driver. All the information necessary to write that code is publicly available, but there needs to be someone who would actually sit down and write it, and the people already working on that driver have a main focus on Intel hardware that is still being made, rather than 8xx. -- no support for TV-Out 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
