How can I configure the SDVA TV-Out using xrandr? I am using the next-to-latest (1.9.91) version of the intel X driver. The chipset is 965G, and I have a Prolink CH7312 SDVO card connected. The card has a DVI and an S-Video connections. With a monitor connected to the DVI port, and a TV connected to the S-Video port, xrandr output looks like this: =============================================================================== Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1680 VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right) TMDS-1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 433mm x 271mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 59.9 1280x960 59.9 1152x864 75.0 74.8 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 TMDS-2 unknown connection 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 0mm x 0mm 1280x800 60.0* 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 ============================================================================== The DVI display is OK, but there is no picture on the TV. Also, I am not sure how to interpret xrandr output. The meaning of VGA is clear. (When connecting / disconnecting VGA monitor, the output changes accordingly.) TMDS-1 is the DVI port. (Also checked, and it reflects hardware configuration changes.) But what is the TMDS-2? Is it the S-Video output? Isn't it supposed to be called "TV"? Moreover, the data returned about DMDS-2 is the same if I start X with the TV connected or disconnected. I can change the modes on this TMDS-2 port, but whatever I do, the TV picture remains black. If I boot the system with only the TV connected, the text messages during boot appear on the TV, but when I try to start X, the TV screen goes black, and I can not do anything to bring it back to life. I can log in remotely, and use xrandr to change the modes on TMDS-2, but nothing happens. I attached xrandr output with and without the monitor connected, and the full X log for the later case. * * * With the previous version on the driver (before xrandr-1.2), I could get picture on the TV-out, but only black-and-white, and it did not fill the screen. But now, with the new version, even that is gone. Could you please help me with this? What more information do you need to debug this? Thank you for your help: Kristof Csillag </BODY> </HTML>
