For what it's worth, I have a Intel i915 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Si-1520 laptop, and TV-out works quite well using the xrandr command to enable the "TV" output, set the mode and set the TV mode, after I plug in an S-video cable.
Apparently the PAL colour modulation isn't correct, but my TV picks up colour about 50% of the time after setting a TV mode. There doesn't seem to be a way to tell the TV to show the picture in wide-screen, which is supposed to be indicated in the TV signal somehow. Otherwise, it seems to work quite well.
Annoyingly, all the Gnome panels insist on moving to the TV display, away from the laptop display. That's unfortunate, but obviously much less of an issue than getting TV in the first place.
