I'm having the same problem with an old DELL Inspiron 1420 I got running Debian, It is reported on:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=663649 The video card is listed as: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c) The TV output worked fine until some years ago when it went black and white and a few releases later video was gone. I checked on the sources of linux 3.2 which I'm currently running (Debian unstable) and this patch is there (line 1313). The TV output only works when the TV is plugged at start up (when I turn on the laptop) but the output is on black & white, no color. If I plug the TV after the laptop is running it is not detected. Any clues on what is wrong? maybe I need a module option or something like that. Thanks. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #663649 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=663649 -- 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
