Brief follow-up. I'm using Intel video drivers from http://ppa.launchpad.net/glasen/intel-driver/ubuntu
I used those after upgrading Ubuntu 10.10 from KDE 4.5 (which it comes with) to KDE 4.6 (and now 4.6.1), which was made available from http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu I had to do so on my Dell 1525, as well as my wife's Thinkpad X41, because after upgrading to KDE 4.6, the screen wasn't refreshing properly. Anyway, over the course of the past few months, those drivers have been updated a handful of times, and I checked my S-Video out again recently, and there's magically been a little progress. Now, instead of my "TV-1" display being unselectable in, for example, KRandRTray, it now shows up as a connected device when I have the S-Video cable plugged in, and the TV turned on. However, no progress beyond that, so far... my TV remains black. :^/ I haven't had much time to care about or work on this, but I figured I'd give an update with the progress, rather than just leave the thread dangling. -bill!
