Start X Actual results: No output on TV. Expected results: Output on TV. Additional info: I am willing to test any patches/configs to help with this one.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

tv-out support is pretty experimental so far, so I'll see what I can figure out upstream...
Thanks for looking into this. I noticed the experimental state of tv-out support but just wanted to make this bug for reporting how it works.
Actually there's an upstream bug report so I think this one can be closed. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12007
I agree, this should be resolved upstream first. We will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Thank you for the bug report.
The upstream bug mentioned is not the same : it is about garbled TV output. With mobility x700 (I have one too), there is no TV-output at all. The driver doesn't even know about TV-output according to xrandr: __________________________ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1280x800 60.0*+ 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 __________________________ The laptop hardware is the same (different brand though) as the one in this bug report : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503755 (corrected in latest rawhide) http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13720 My graphics card has exactly the same video bios rom as the one attached in the report in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13720 I have DRI2 and KMS working. I would like to report this bug upstream, but where should I report it (kernel (KMS), xorg...)?
