I've had extremely limited time to look into this. Someone on #lugod suggested that 'it should just work,' and to a limited degree, it does. When I KRandRTray in KDE (or run "xrandr --prop"), I see "TV1" listed as one of my four outputs (the other 3 being VGA1, LVDS1 (laptop LCD) and DVI1), but it's shown as 'disconnected', even when I've booted the laptop with the S-video cable plugged into the TV, and the TV turned on, and its input set to that particular port. (On my TV, the easily-accessible S-video and composite ports, on the side (vs back) of the TV are "AV-3", and that's what I have the TV switched to.) Further Googling has come up with a bunch of potential leads that I haven't investigated, but here are a handful from the collection of bookmarks I've amassed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9106&page=4 http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3108157.0 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics#KMS_.28Kernel_Mode_Setting.29 http://superuser.com/questions/192121/how-to-install-intel-82852-855gm-driver-on-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat PS - I had issues with screen redraw under Ubuntu 10.10 and KDE 4.6, and added the following apt source to fetch an updated Intel driver: http://ppa.launchpad.net/glasen/intel-driver/ubuntu That was before trying to use S-Video. I also admittedly have not yet tried other S-Video cables to ensure that it's not a cable issue. (If that turns out to be the case, I'll be annoyed at the loss of an S-Video cable... oh, and embarassed ;) ) -- -bill!
