intel graphics leave TV output ON

[Richard Harding]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Performed an install of Tribe2 Gutsy. Once I changed the driver to intel from vesa I got a gui, but the resolution was funny.

Found that the TV was set in xrandr
xrandr output:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 1440
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right)
LVDS connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 303mm x 190mm
   1440x900 60.0*+ 50.0
   1280x800 60.0
   1280x768 60.0
   1024x768 60.0
   800x600 60.3
   640x480 60.0 59.9
TMDS-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right)
TV connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768 30.0*
   800x600 30.0
   848x480 30.0
   640x480 30.0

Turning off the TV via xrandr corrected the display:
xrandr --output TV --off

There is no TV info in xorg.conf. This happens on every time X is restarted.

I found a link describing how to have this disabled in the xorg.conf file.

I'm not sure what the best way to handle this on installation would be though.

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "TVOutput"
    Option "Disable" "true"
EndSection

and then in the Device Section add the following
    Option "monitor-TV" "TVOutput"

Hi,

Quirks support has been added to the intel driver which should take care of this. I've reproduced this on my T61, and will be releasing a new version of xf86-video-intel with this fix. Could you try the xserver-xorg-video-intel package from here:

deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~kyle/testing/xf86-video-intel-RC/ ./

[Richard Harding (rharding)]

Thanks. I installed the .deb and commented out the xorg.conf fixes and after a reboot the display came up with the correct resolution and seems to be perfect.

[Kyle McMartin (kyle)]

Excellent. Thanks very much for testing!

Can confirm it fixed the issue on my Lenovo r61 laptop.. which dosn't even have a tv out even though xrandr says it does

[Marius Gedminas (mgedmin)]

This is fixed in the git version of the intel driver, according to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11914

Moving milestone.

[Henrik Nilsen Omma (henrik)]

Moving milestone to beta.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

The 2.1.1 driver is released, so this issue should be resolved. If not, please reopen.

Hello!

On my laptop the problem persists. I'm using up to date 7.10 .

[Licio Fonseca (licio)]

I'm using xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.1.1 on 7.10 and the problem persists.
I've tried to get the Kyle's testing version but it's unavaiable. would I reopen this bug?
