We have to use an adapter mini-DVI->S-Video but the only things I have on my tv is "crapy"... i can just see something move when I move a window for instance. It looks like the refresh rate is completely bad... I had to put Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP" in xorg.conf in order to see something on the tv (with "TV" replacing CRT, i got a black tv). I tried with the tv plugged at boot time, nothing change... and I tried several way of configure Xorg too... If it can helps you, apple say that on its web site : --------------------------------------------------------------- The cable detect function on pin 25 is implemented by connecting pin 25 to +5V in the adapters. The computer detects which adapter is present by reading its EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) via DDC. The EDID for video is in the adapter; the EDID for VGA and DVI is in the display. --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- --Other links-- --------------- Here is the bug report on ubuntu launchpad : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/116207 Mail on freedesktop list : http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-October/018739.html Post on ubuntu forum : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=449506 Gentoo wiki : http://gentoo- wiki.com/Talk:HARDWARE_Apple_MacBook#DVI_and_TV_Out Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/116207/comments/5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2007-12-13T23:12:10+00:00 Border-w wrote: I can confirm this bug.

I tried again the patch in comment #27, and the only feedback I've on the TV is when I leave X (for example, when rebooting or something like that). But inside X, I get no signal. I'll try contacting that person and will post here if I get any new results. It's worth mentioning that I'm getting an error message on xrandr all the time about VGA being connected (which it isn't) but having no modes available.

It might be really different as Mac Mini, though I think it shouldn't, in terms of TV connection.. Windows can't work as well.

In such case the TV is not detected correctly. And it is very interesting that the TMDS-1 is also detected as connected. In fact there exists only one mini-DVI connector. And from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DVI we can know that mini-DVI can carry the DVI-D, VGA, TV signal. Maybe on mini mac there exists so much mystery about the hardware design that our driver can't handle this. thanks.

Not sure if it means anything, but the adaptor in question is mini-DVI to both S-VIDEO and RCA. http://www.screencapturenews.com/wp-content/uploads/mini-dvi-to-tv-video.gif Could this account for both outputs being turned on? (I really don't know much about this, sorry if the question is stupid) > Maybe on mini mac there exists so much mystery about the hardware design that > our driver can't handle this. Just making sure, you're talking about the macbook here right? I think that the mini mac already works ok, but I don't have one to test here. --lf > thanks. > Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/116207/comments/71 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2010-01-08T21:12:23+00:00 Filippo Giunchedi wrote: Hi, as another data point this is what I'm seeing with the adapter connected: $ xrandr --prop xrandr: Output VGA1 is not disconnected but has no modes Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) EDID: 00ffffffffffff000610089d01010101 070c0103100000963067a9a056479926 11484c00006101010101010101010101 01010101010101010101010101010101 01010101010101010101010101010101 01010101010101010101010101010101 010101010101010101010101000000fc 004e5453432f50414c0a202020200038 LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 286mm x 179mm EDID: 00ffffffffffff0006105f9c00000000 08100103801d12780a2f309758538b29 25505400000001010101010101010101 010101010101bc1b00a0502017303020 36001eb3100000180000000100061020 00000000000000000a20000000fe004c 503133335758312d544c4131000000fe 00436f6c6f72204c43440a20202000c2 scaling mode: Fullscreen supported: Non-GPU Fullscreen No scale Aspect 1280x800 59.9*+ 1024x768 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9 720x400 85.0 640x400 85.1 640x350 85.1 DVI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) TV1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) bottom margin: 37 (0x00000025) range: (0,100) right margin: 46 (0x0000002e) range: (0,100) top margin: 36 (0x00000024) range: (0,100) left margin: 54 (0x00000036) range: (0,100) mode: NTSC-M supported: NTSC-M NTSC-443 NTSC-J PAL-M PAL-N PAL 480p@59.94Hz 480p@60Hz 576p 720p@60Hz 720p@59.94Hz 720p@50Hz 1080i@50Hz 1080i@60Hz 1080i@59.94H I'm currently running on debian with kernel 2.6.31-1-amd64 with xserver-xorg 1:7.5+1 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-2 and using KMS I guess the latest patch won't apply since it is all moved to the kernel driver? thanks in advance, filippo Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/116207/comments/72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2010-07-15T17:49:19+00:00 Jesse Barnes wrote: Looks like a failure to retrieve the EDID over the dongle, we might need more permissive timings (as in #28843).
