Hi all.

Should tv-out via the svideo connector work on amd64 systems? I've got a
Radeon X700 Mobility chip.

I did some testing over the weekend. I tried pretty much all the
suggestions I found in the mailing list by searching for 'tv', including
the obvious:

xrandr --output S-video --auto
 ... or:
xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600

 ... then:
xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600

Nothing happens :(

xrandr -v --query says that I have an SVideo port, but it *always* says
it's disconnected.

I've also tried booting with the SVideo cable connected ( used to work
on an older radeon ).
