I'm sorry if I was unclear and you thought I was referencing just the 810. I was referencing a possible solution for the 855 series that people are reporting problems with.

One case I am referring to (that is attached to this bug report) can be found here:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/65430

The card I am referencing is an Intel 855 GM/E. Apparently this bug also affects Intel 855s (GM/GME). Some users have attempted to roll-back their drivers to the i810 drivers in an effort just to use their S-Video/TV-Out signal with no success.

He posted his conf file here: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/389739/
Apparently, it worked for him. But it only works for select users. I obviously do not know why, if I did we may have a solution.

Sorry to be unclear.
