Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.3.1-1 Severity: important The S-Video port of my laptop (Acer Extensa 5220) with an Intel graphics chip is completely unusable with version 2.3.1-1. It shows up in xrandr just fine, but fails to deliver any picture, even if xrandr believes it is active. Now it gets complicated. As I remembered it working before, I did some bisecting. I found out that reverting commit e720ae4476c3f986f623ce0f0ab9775b8b9b7e05 makes the port work as long, given that the S-Video port is connected to a TV at the time X starts. I can restart the X server and the port keeps working. However, whenever the port has been disabled once, e.g. * the X server was started without a cable plugged in * while X was running, it was disabled via "xrandr --output TV --off" it is impossible to get a picture again until the next reboot. "xrandr --output TV --auto" will mark the port as active, but without an actual result; "vbetool post" to reset the VGA card does not help either, nor does restarting the X server. Please contact me for whatever further information or explanations you need. % lspci -v -s 00:02 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 011f Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at fc000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at 1800 [size=8] Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 3 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 011f Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Memory at fc100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 3 -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
