Intel 82852 TV-Out

[jaxmalta]

Hello,

I am evaluating some OSes because I want to move away from windows and I must say that I like BSD. I am not an expert but I know how to find my way round in Unix.

One glitch I found with PC-BSD and other Linux systems I tried (Kubuntu, OpenSuse, PCLOS) is that I cannot enable my TV-Out (svideo) on my laptop Travelmate 4050. My graphics card is Intel 82852/855GM. I found this entry on the ubuntu forums and I played around with xorg.conf. With my current configuration (see below) I can log into X but only my laptop monitor shows the image. However on when I boot in windows it works (extended desktop & clone) so it is not a HW/cable problem. Is there anyone who can help me please?
