Bug#443584: xrandr does not recognise conncted s-video
using the Fn-F4 keys i can switch the tv output into 1024x768 mode , BUT it's buggy
as i reported a bug about it (display gets distorted) so i don't use it.
i'm just mentioning it to say that the s-video output can probably support 1024x768.
with Xv version 2.2 the XV_SWITCHCRT syntax changed (i think) and correct syntax is probably...
xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1 (although the min/max values seems like a true/false boolean ?)
Name: XV_CRTC
Flags: XvGettable XvSettable
Min value: -1
Max value: 1
Current value: -1
to play video with overly support on s-video (tv) i used : xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1
to play video with overly support on LVDS (laptop) i used : xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 0
they didn't work on both displays simultaneously :-(
but that seems ok :-)

Good to know. I'll keep the bug open until I get some clarification from
Alex about how we are supposed to enabled TV-out these days.

Probably related to the fact that TV-output load detection is disabled
for now.

I have no idea whether other modes can work on a TV-output...

I guess the XV overlay can only appear on one CRTC. You should either
not display the same image on both outputs (disable the LVDS, or move it
so that it does not overlap TV-output image) or maybe use xvattr to
switch the overlay on the other output, with something like:
xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1
