I have the same card in my Toshiba Satellite 2800, and TV out works fine
for me.

I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific. Do you have a Fn-key
combination on your keyboard that can cycle between LCD/CRT/TV? If so,
what is the behaviour of the TV out port when doing this? (ie., no
display at all, cycle skips the TV, garbled output, etc.) Keep in mind
that there are different types of TV signals (NTSC,PAL) and your card
might be set for the wrong one- check the BIOS.

Also, there is a package called s3switch that can be used to control the
output of the S3 Savage card in software. You might want to give that a
try.

HTH & HAND,

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.
