Severity: normal

TV-out does not work on HP Compaq nx6325 notebook with the infamous
RS482 (Radeon Xpress 200M) video card (yes, I know that Xpress chips are
not well supported).

The output looks like a black screen with some noise which changes
depending on what is displayed on LCD screen, so I guess it does output
something, but not correctly.

I am using xrand to enable TV-out:

xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600

Although the cable is connected, it insists that it is not:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1400 x 1050, maximum 1400 x 1200
VGA-0 unknown connection (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
   1280x800       60.0
   1280x768       60.0
   1024x768       60.0
   800x600        60.3
   640x480        59.9
LVDS connected 1400x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
305mm x 228mm
   1400x1050      60.0*+
   1280x800       60.0
   1280x768       60.0
   1024x768       60.0
   800x600        60.3
   640x480        59.9
S-video disconnected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 0mm x 0mm
   800x600        60.3*

I thought this was related to PAL/NTSC, but setting the TV standard via
xrand changes nothing:

xrandr --output S-video --set tv_standard pal
