Comment 98 for bug 6270

I confirm that I got the TV-OUT working with the compiled i810 driver and using

Option "MonitorLayout" "NONE,TV"

So that my LFP does not get blanked. A side effect is that I am not using clone mode, the LCD display is turned off and when exiting the X session all ttys get an invalid resolution (illegible characters and bad refresh frequency), I have tried enabling VBERestore but does not help.

Note: I did not use nvtv to get the video out working. I tried clicking "TV on" (although I was already on TV) and display started flickering more, nothing seemed to work.

So I can confirm that a workaround to this bug is to use the old i810 driver, although I wasn't able to get it working properly.
