Bug#443585: switching to s-video sets LVDS and S-Video brightness to max and inverts colors

["Nadav Kavalerchik" <nadavkav@gmail.com>]

yes, you can close it.

a funny think thou...
when i use Fn-F4 to switch to s-video (tv) and get the display distorted.
i use the first 60.0 Hz mode (which distorts the display, normally) to fix the display !
it works only when i use the Fn keys, otherwise i use the second 60.0 Hz mode.

since the S-video is reported disconnected i can't use grandr (gtk gui app) to switch from tv/laptop
easily, so still it is a little problems (for my father, that is not familier with the cli xrandr)

So you're saying that once you workaround the S-video enabling problems
(reported in other bug reports), switching the S-video using xrandr does
avoid your brightness problems? (which means the bug can be closed)
