TV-OUT Intel GM965/GL960

Hi guys,
Has anybody get TV-OUT to work with this video card?
After googling for a while I can't find anything useful that let me know how to configure the TV OUT. I've tried some xrandr magick but nothing works.

Can anyone point me to a  good documentation or let me know if it can be done?

This is my lspci -v output for what a display controller concerns:

Re: TV-OUT Intel GM965/GL960

Hi, tv-out on GM965 was fixed this summer, starting from xf86-video-intel-2.3.2. This is what works for me:

Cloning
$ xrandr --output TV --set TV_FORMAT PAL; xrandr --output TV --mode 1024x768
Extending
$ xrandr --output TV --set TV_FORMAT PAL; xrandr --output TV --mode 1024x768 --right-of LVDS

Edit: if you are interested in static configuration take a look at my xorg.conf

You need to install an RTFM interface.

Re: TV-OUT Intel GM965/GL960

Hello, thanx for the quick answer, and sorry for my late reply.
I tried those commands, I got some image on the TV but it's twisted. I played with allowed resolutions but without any luck. However, I think that's because of the connector I'm using. I'll get another one and let you guys know what happened.

Thanx a lot.

Re: TV-OUT Intel GM965/GL960

Hi people,

I hope this will be useful to you. I have packaged a chroot live system to use my TV-OUT without rebooting.
Xorg 1.4 + the old i810 driver (v1.7.2) are inside, with perfectly compiling
sources (so if you want to fix the driver for the latest Xorg, you can begin from this ready system :-) ) .

This should work for all i8xx/i9xx chipsets which worked with the old i810 driver.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/i810tvout/

All feedback is welcome (on the SF.net project please)
