Intel 855 TV out almost working
 
I have Intel 855GM Laptop and am running suse 10 on it. With Intel's 810 drivers and sax2 I have succeeded in transferring the video to my TV but it's completely screwed (black&white, strange lines running cross screen, it crops my desktop so that in TV there are black borders on every side of desktop, and actual desktop is shown only 1/2 of heigh and width, so 3/4 of my screen is missing :p).

To start with, my Xorg.0.log says
Quote:

(II) I810(0): Display Info: CRT: attached: FALSE, present: TRUE, size: (1024,768)
(II) I810(0): Display Info: TV: attached: FALSE, present: FALSE, size: (0,6169)
(II) I810(0): Display Info: DFP (digital flat panel): attached: FALSE, present: FALSE, size: (0,6169)
(II) I810(0): Display Info: LFP (local flat panel): attached: TRUE, present: TRUE, size: (1024,768)
(II) I810(0): Display Info: CRT2 (second CRT): attached: TRUE, present: TRUE, size: (800,600)
(II) I810(0): Display Info: TV2 (second TV): attached: FALSE, present: FALSE, size: (0,6169)
So sax2 thinks my tvout connection is CRT2? However when I made xorg.conf using sax2 it made my configs like this:

This didn't work, there never was any signal to TV but LFP worked well :) So I changed CRT to CRT2 at MonitorLayout, and now I have screen on TV and LFP, but TV picture is very distorted.
My connections are OK, they work perfect from windows (1024x768 resolution on both displays). I think it might be because of those refreshrates, but I don't know which way to move them.
TV is PAL-B/G standard and connection I have made uses SVIDEO.
So, any suggestions?

This is a little off topic, but have you been able to successfully set up a dual display with your laptop's LCD and an external monitor? I'm having a bit of difficulty doing this, and I have the same video chipset as you.
