Machine: IBM R52 laptop(915GM). xf86-video-intel: modesetting tip xserver: server-1.3-branch tip Xorg: 7.2 release kernel: 2.6.20 release OS: FC5 The video cable connects between S-video port on laptop and composite port on TV. After startx with normal xorg.conf, both LVDS and TV display well in clone mode. But xrandr reports "TV disconnected". If using S-video port instead of composite port on TV, no this problem.
Created attachment 8876 [details] xorg.conf normal config file
Created attachment 8877 [details] Xorg.0.log
Created attachment 8878 [details] xrandr output command "xrandr" says "TV disconnected". But in fact TV is connected and shows well.
Then I run "xrandr --output TV --auto", but things get worse: the TV loses signal and TV display goes away.
Created attachment 8879 [details] Xorg.0.log after "xrandr --output TV --auto" the log after I run "xrandr --output TV --auto"
Created attachment 8880 [details] xrandr output after "xrandr --output TV --auto" xrandr finds TV modes, but no active mode.
I retest with the latest driver. The change is xrandr reports mode 1024x768 this time (but without active flag). But only this one mode. And the TV does show 1024x768 screen. And "xrandr --output TV --auto" will still lose TV signal. TV disconnected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 (0x71) 26.9MHz h: width 1024 start 1025 end 1088 total 1120 skew 0 clock 24.0KHz v: height 768 start 769 end 800 total 801 clock 30.0Hz
and setting mode doesn't effect: [root@x-915gm ~]# xrandr --output TV --mode 1024x768 xrandr: cannot find mode 1024x768
re-assigned to nanhai.
The bug still exists in the latest driver.
TV was deteced to s-video when it is composite..., it is even not possible to write a quirk. It should be a hardware issue.
Reopen and assign to Zhenyu to see if his new work can help this.
Created attachment 23109 [details] [review] TV connector option So instead of failure detection, this patch adds TV_Connector option that can be set to force connector type. Please try this to see if anything helps.

Have you add TV_Connector option in xorg.conf?
(In reply to comment #15) > Have you add TV_Connector option in xorg.conf? > no,I havn't.how to add it?
Just like how you add TV_Format option. Section "Device" Identifier "intel driver" Device "intel" Option "monitor-TV" "TV" ... EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifiter "TV" Option "TV_Connector" "Composite" EndSection see updated intel.4 manpage.

Could you try more times to see if TV can be lighten up? Please paste the log with and without TV_Connector option in failure case.

TV_Connector option patch is pushed. commit aa9da5e393c804019720503fe58bdd247fe1eabd Author: Zhenyu Wang <zhenyu.z.wang@intel.com> Date: Tue Mar 3 20:26:19 2009 +0800 TV: add option to set TV connector type This can let user override non-stable driver TV load detect, and set connector type manually, e.g for s-video to component converter, this patch seems must needed to use HD modes. For this machine that has 4-bin S-video, we can't detect composite link, and do bypass TV disconnect annoy, now you can use TV_Connector option to set it as "S-Video". Please verify that works. Close now.
