"I am trying to clone my desktop to a television using an S-video cable. I'm am using an 82852/855GM Intel graphics card. I have tried editing my xorg.conf several times and it has never worked. The best I can get from my television is a flicker, and editing my xorg.conf usually messes up my computer monitor as well. My goal is to at least get some kind of picture on the TV screen. I wouldn't really mind if it was black and white or didn't use the whole screen, so long as it works. Can I get some help with this please?"
To start, make sure that your BIOS enables dual output through VGA and S-video ( often called TV-OUT). Test by booting with only one of the pair (VGA/S-video) plugged in. You *should* (cross fingers, throw salt over your left shoulder etc. etc.) get output during boot, even if it then gives a blank screen. THEN you can get into setting up xorg.conf for a dual output. Man intel and man xorg.conf will be your friend. Geoff _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
