Daniel, With the same cable? Using a cable that is S-video on the end that plugs into the laptop and an RCA composite plug on the other end? I'm surprised, because I've encountered several posts around the net that explain that the black-and-white effect comes from driving a composite input with an S-video signal. And it was precisely my experience. When I changed to the cable with 4-pin S-video plugs on both ends, I had color.
I'll admit to being something of a non-expert with cabling. Perhaps there is a way (via software) to use the S-video port to output composite if you detect a S-video-->composite cable. If Windows did that but Linux stuck to (generally higher quality) S-video from the S-video port always, I suppose that would explain why it might work in one OS and then fail when you reboot to the other. This is all guessing on my part though. Fixing the cabling would still solve the problem if I'm right. -- intel GM965 (X3100) no TV-Out (S-Video) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
