<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">After failing for a couple of weeks to get the dvi out to work from my commell lv-675D mobo with integrated intel 845 graphics and s-video and dvi out, I decided to take a step back and see if I can get the s-video
to work. After connecting the s-video to the yellow single video jack (part of the video/l-audio/r-audio connectors), I immediately got an image on both BIOS and Ubuntu. Ubuntu started in low-res mode with the image all weird, but after fiddling with the xorg.conf
and downloading 915resolution it suddenly worked.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">Two problems remain:</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">- on booting, it goes into 640x480 mode which fills only a small portion of my TV screen and is almost unworkable as desktop (most config screens don't show the buttons, etc.). In my xorg.conf I specified a bunch
of modes, but it seems to ignore those. Using xrandr I can only see the 640x480 mode, I can manually add a 800x600 mode but it refuses to switch into that, giving a crtc error (see below)</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">- if I go into and out of hibernation, it does go into 800x600 mode. However, it "wraps around" so the left 150 or so pixels are "shared" between the left and right hand side of the screen. If I try the same for the
'correct' resolution for my tv (W-XGA 1366x768) it refuses to switch to that mode, the same for 1280x1024 (do I have to convince the video driver to accept that mode somehow). Strange enough, restarting X by killing it from a console does not produce the same
behaviour, it simply goes back to 640x480 only. Also strange, if I do not add the 800x600 but only the 1366x768 it still goes into 800x600 (which is the resolution specified in my xorg.conf).</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">I've used 915resolution to add the 1366x768 mode, but that does not change anything. I've also set the resolution in my xorg.conf to this value, but that also does not seem to change anything.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">My computer is based on a Commell lv-675d mobo with integrated intel graphics, and I have a JVC LCD television, I think the LT-32A85B.
</font></div>

<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">Any comments on how to fix this or debug this would be greatly appreciated.
