Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I am experiencing the same problem on an HP 6710b laptop with Intel X3100 video ("intel" driver). I was trying to enable TV out (S-video) using gnome-display-properties and had an identical outcome to the one described here. I also noticed that pressing fn-f4 makes the TV screen flicker briefly. Relevant packages (I'm running 32-bit system): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.901-29.20080415.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.2.1-24.fc9.i386 Here is the output of the 'xrandr' command: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1680 VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1152x864 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 TV connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x768 30.0 800x600 30.0 848x480 30.0 640x480 30.0
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is still problematic in Fedora 11. I did have limited success with: xrandr --output TV1 --mode 800x600 Which gave mirrored (and cropped) output on the TV. Then I tried: xrandr --output TV1 --off which had no effect. xrandr --output TV1 --auto ...changed the output to poorer quality. xrandr --output TV1 --mode 800x600 ...resulted in the TV out going blank. Subsequent commands (all of the above) had no effect. $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ TV1 unknown connection (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x768 30.0 800x600 30.0 848x480 30.0 640x480 30.0
Please change Version to Fedora 11, as I am unable to do so.
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
