TV-output detection was breaking some configuration earlier (it wrongly
detected TV as connected, causing the other outputs to miss resources).
So it is disabled now from what I understand. I don't know exactly what
we are supposed to do to enable TV then. Maybe:
| xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600|
| xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600|
