S-Video port on Mac Lombard System

kullo · 07-19-2009, 06:21 PM

Hi all,
I've been banging my head against this for a while now, and haven't made any progress so far. I'm running debian on a PowerBook G3 "Lombard", sometimes referred to as the "Bronze Keyboard", and have all running like a champ with fluxbox...but so far I have hit a brick wall getting the S-Video port to output. Now, I'll preface this by saying this is a computer recovered from the scrap-heap...the HDD was bad, then replaced (who'd have thunk it was just a standard laptop drive), and the mobo battery didn't work so it wouldn't hold time (made for some interesting complications during installs...but that's another story). Anywho, here's the skinny:

Does anybody have either a xorg.conf with S-VIDEO out working, or at least some tips for getting it working? I'm a bit of a rookie...but I take instruction well!
