I've been trying for 2 days straight to get S-Video output on my new laptop on Hardy. The screen is always black. The monitor shows up as "unknown" in Screen Resolution, doesnt work with or without Clone option.
Function-F4: Doesnt work in X. It works only during boot time, you see the ubuntu logo then both laptop and TV black.
Tried different options with xorg.conf, many times had to enter recovery mode of ubuntu to reset my settings. Most suggestions were taken from googl'ing or searching ubuntu forums.
Updated to the latest kernel pre-release available because I saw somewhere of a bug with 965 and 8.04LTS kernel.
By accident, i put my laptop to sleep. When i booted up (with the s-video cable in), alas I have a clone of my laptop at 1024x768 on my TV. Tried extending the desktop in Screen Resolution, no luck.
Now i tried doing xrandr --output TV --off, it turns off the TV! Then i try --auto at the end, and it doesnt turn it back on. Can only get it back on by going to sleep and turning the laptop back on.
I spent many hours, I thought it was because I'm fairly a newbie to linux and must be a configuration issue, but I am convinced theres a bug somewhere or it is not supported out of the box.
Verified other bugs similar, but not exactly like the one i'm having.

A 'me too' here, having tried every solution google and ubuntu forums would give me to get S-video started without success (i.e. messing around with xorg.conf and xrandr, which does detect a television). I have used another laptop with ATI video card and plugging in the svideo cable immediately gave the ubuntu desktop on the TV screen (as a clone). However, for my HP 7610b with X3100 video it didn't work.
