Svideo on Intel 855gm

ms339 · 04-24-2006, 04:56 PM

Hi everybody!
I am trying to find how to have twinview between my laptop (a transtec with an Intel 855 graphics chip) and the tv (I have an old Sony, I don't know if it matters). I have searched this site at least 10 times and changed the xorg.conf file twice as many! Each time I changed it I rebooted the laptop (is there another way to reread the file without rebooting?) I am posting my xorg.conf file as it is now where nothing works. Any advice would be very helpfull!
Thanks!

You searched this site?... hrm.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/i855crt

Didn't like the driver for tv out?

Cheers, I didn't think there was one!

So, I have spent about 5 hours trying to find out how the drivers actually works but no luck. Do I have to make alterations on the xorg file of should use the old one? I have tried different screen modes but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
