Bug 21533

Yes, 2.7 only adds NTSC support for SDVO-TV (which is used by D945GCLF2).

I have managed to get the SDVO-TV working in PAL mode, by applying the patch found in:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-April/001964.html

and then adding the 
Option "TV_Format" "PAL-G"
to my xorg.conf ( I don't have my conf file here with me, but I believe this the right option)

I also added new kernel to my Ubuntu 9.04, since there are some patches
for SDVO, but I am not sure if it is needed, see:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=history;f=drivers/gpu/drm/i915;hb=a4f1cb9f3c42e5d278b0678ed5225d9331a8dcff
patches from Zhenyu Wang

Sometimes it happens that TV-OUT is not in PAL, but after switching to some VT (like 1) and switching back to X solves the problems.

Hope that helps.

Hi Marco
With latest 2D driver, could you please try in UMS  by setting i915.modeset=0, and upload xorg.log with modedebug option on?

Thanks

I've sold my mini PC, so I have no more the D945GCLF2 board. I'm sorry.

Hi, 

I tried this patch on my board D945GCLF2 and result is good. My TV is connected during S-VIDEO connector (composite out, PAL). Video screen is static and
"xrandr --output TV-1 --set TV_FORMAT" returns correct result. 

One drawback is that my screen is black&white. I tried settings in "Windows XP" and screen was colour. The best result in Linux was with settings PAL_60 but in this case was not colour stable (sometimes B&W and sometimes Colour). Colour was not sharp and than recognition was difficult. 


My configuration:
D945GCLF2
2GB RAM

Ubuntu 9.04
Intel driver - xorg-intel - git version
patch
drm - git version


Best regards

Mirek
