Subject: xserver-xorg-video-intel: no TV (S-Video) output with GM965 (regression)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.3.1-1
Severity: important

The S-Video port of my laptop (Acer Extensa 5220) with an Intel graphics
chip is completely unusable with version 2.3.1-1. It shows up in xrandr
just fine, but fails to deliver any picture, even if xrandr believes it
is active.

Now it gets complicated.

As I remembered it working before, I did some bisecting. I found out
that reverting commit e720ae4476c3f986f623ce0f0ab9775b8b9b7e05 makes the
port work as long, given that the S-Video port is connected to a TV at
the time X starts. I can restart the X server and the port keeps
working.

However, whenever the port has been disabled once, e.g.

  * the X server was started without a cable plugged in
  * while X was running, it was disabled via "xrandr --output TV --off"

it is impossible to get a picture again until the next reboot. "xrandr
--output TV --auto" will mark the port as active, but without an actual
result; "vbetool post" to reset the VGA card does not help either, nor
does restarting the X server.

Please contact me for whatever further information or explanations you need.

Can you try latest upstream development version?  With some luck, it
might be that the fix for
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14000 fixed your problem
too.  You can get the driver with 'git clone
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel', run
'autogen.sh; make' and then copy src/.libs/intel_drv.so to
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/.

Cheers,
Julien
