Sorry for so late testing. Since I've get information that no more patches will be applied to Ubuntu Lucid until kernel update after release, I've just recompiled stock Ubuntu 2.6.32-21-generic (2.6.32.11+drm33.2) kernel with this patch and now S-video is connected out of the box (no need to set "load detection") and my both screens resolution was set to 800x600 by default (I could change my LCD resolution to it's native later). Thanks a lot for this fix.

Unfortunately I thought that my other problems will disappear with new driver, too, but they don't...
I mean problems with "tv standard" change/enable - I still need to make a loop of xrandr commands:
$ for i in `seq 1000`; do xrandr --output S-video --set "tv standard" pal; xrandr --output S-video --set "tv standard" ntsc; done
until I get proper video on S-video (the same was on Karmic or even earlier distributions (I'm not 100% sure about which earlier versions)).
I've done more testing and when I run this loop I've got video after few seconds in NTSC (I'm interrupting script after I get video and try to change to PAL or NTSC to see what standard I have enabled) and later I've managed to try if I can get PAL after more time running script. After few minutes later I've got PAL, but NTSC was unavailable then. [I've wrote on this issue in Kubuntu Karmic some time ago at Phoronix forums]
Should I write a new bug report for it?
