Hi

I have a small problem: I just would like to change the output mode of 
the TV output from NTSC to PAL

Fighting with Google and xorg documentation I did not find any hint how 
to achive that and all my torturing of xrandr did not help ether.

# lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 
943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
# dpkg --list | grep video-intel
ii  xserver-xorg-video-intel              
2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.1                        X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, 
i9xx display driver
# xrandr --verbose
...
TV1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
         Identifier: 0x43
         ...
         left margin: 54 (0x00000036)    range:  (0,100)
         mode:   NTSC-M
                 supported: NTSC-M       NTSC-443     NTSC-J       PAL-M
                            PAL-N        PAL          480p at 59.94Hz 
480p at 60Hz
                            576p         720p at 60Hz    720p at 59.94Hz 
720p at 50Hz
                            1080i at 50Hz   1080i at 60Hz   1080i at 59.94H
....

As I am from Europe the picture on the TV does not really look good with 
NTSC.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers

Konrad
