Hi,
I was trying to set up TV-out (S-video to SCART) on my laptop (Intel
GM965/GL960 and xserver-xorg-video-intel) using
xrandr --output TV --set TV_FORMAT PAL --mode 1024x768
and got sound ok and a clone of the laptop screen on the TV, but I
couldn't get any colours. Figuring there weren't a lot of different
properties and options to tweak, I tried some other versions of PAL,
namely PAL-N and PAL-M. Didn't work of course. But what is worse, I
can't change back to my half-working setup! I've run
xrandr --output TV --off
followed by the command at the top of the mail, and the TV flickers a
little for a second, so some sort of signal is reaching it, but the
image is totally black. The sound doesn't work any more. The verbose
output is
crtc 0: 1024x768 25.0 +0+0 "TV"
Running "xrandr --prop" produces
...
TV connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
BOTTOM: 37 (0x00000025) range: (0,100)

TOP: 36 (0x00000024) range: (0,100)
LEFT: 54 (0x00000036) range: (0,100)
TV_FORMAT: PAL

PAL-N PAL
1024x768 25.0*
800x600 25.0
848x480 25.0
640x480 25.0
I've restarted X (and the TV...) and tried re-issuing commands,
googling, etc. and am at a complete loss at what to try next. I don't
have a DVD player or similar, or I would make sure that I haven't
bricked the TV during my experimenting, but this seems far-fetched. I
really hope there is something somewhere that needs resetting. Does
anyone have any idea on how to at least get back to the half-working
state?
Thanks,
Martin
