No PAL Tv-Out with i945G on Mb 945gclf2

abracadabra01 · 2010-01-29 16:49:11

I hoped that with the new kernel 2.6.32.6 and driver xf86-video-intel-newest 2.10.0-2 from AUR I could finally set TV-out as PAL, but try and try again, there are still unsuccessful .
If anyone interested I post my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log

From what I have observed it seems that:
. TV-Out is set to default NTSC_M
. The lines of xorg.conf
Option "TV_FORMAT" "PAL"
Option "TV_Connector" "S-Video"
are ignored
. The lines of xorg.conf
Option "PreferredMode" "720x576 @ 50"
Modeline "720x576 @ 50" 13,500 720 760 824 864 576
are acquired correctly, so the video out is 720x576 @ 25Hz

The above is confirmed by the output of xrandr - verbose

If I try to set the PAL with xrandr --output TV1 --set TV_FORMAT PAL
I get the the error BadName, but instead with line xrandr --output TV1 --set mode PAL_B
I have no errors and the output --verbose confirms that the mode is set to PAL_B,
but the format of the video output does not change, always NTSC_M.

Note that the problem is certainly in the Linux software because with windows
on the same mb the video output is set correctly as PAL

I wonder if anyone else has tackled this problem and maybe
the also fixed.

Thank you in advance who will give me help.

Not sure if this is a help: I remember connecting a ATI radeon mobility card to the TV and got only a b/w picture. After choosing another input mode on the TV i got a colored picture.
