How to turn on S-Video output on S3 Savage?


The last days, I seemed to be a bit dull, because it already worked:

My graphics card is an S3 ProSavage DDR

lshw tells:
Code:
*-display
                description: VGA compatible controller
                product: 86C380 [ProSavageDDR K4M266]
                vendor: S3 Inc.
                physical id: 0
                bus info: pci@01:00.0
                version: 02
                size: 128MB
                width: 32 bits
                clock: 66MHz
                capabilities: vga bus_master cap_list
                resources: iomemory:e8100000-e817ffff
iomemory:f0000000-f7ffffff
 irq:10
Since it's a laptop computer, the graca is connected to an LCD, and further on it has a VGA and an S-Video output connector. These can be toggled, but not work simultaneously (at least not the S-Video with the LCD).

How do I configure X11 to be able to toggle between the LCD and the S-Video connector, and how do I toggle?

s3switch tv pal

turns off LCD, but does not turn on S-Video.

Here is my xorg.conf:
