intel d945gclf2 board with no tv-out

I have been working with this board ever since i got it trying to get the Tv-out to work properly. I am currently using LinHES version 6.00.06. It is based on Arch. Its been slow going since ive had to learn my way around Arch at the same time. Im familiar with pacman now & have been playing with Arch AUR packages. I found the bugs in the intel driver that relate to the non-working TV-out. But these should have been fixed in version 2.6.2 which i have installed with their dependencies. I am still getting some screen rolling, but it varies. Sometimes faster or slower and at different resolutions. I think i may just have a wrong xorg.conf file. I tried several of the X configs listed on Arch's wiki, but no avail. Does any one have a working xorg.conf for the tv-out only that can use or look at to help me out. Many thanks.

Re: intel d945gclf2 board with no tv-out

I'm using the atom board as my bedroom mythtv frontend, had a hard time getting it work, but eventually got it to work by grabbing an svn snapshot of the xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 driver, but the s-video out also works using the xf86-video-intel-newest package from AUR.  I'm running xorg-server 1.5.3-4.

xorg.conf below:

Re: intel d945gclf2 board with no tv-out

According to the Intel driver release notes, video out on this board was fixed in the xf86-video-intel 2.7.0 release.
