Bug Description

Binary package hint: displayconfig-gtk

Hi,

displayconfig-gtk does not handle TVs at all.
There should be an option to set a certain display as a TV set.
From my experience this should be nothing more than adding:

Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" #or COMPONENT
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G" #or NTSC etc PAL-B/G/D/H/I

to the xorg.conf

In displayconfig-gtk there should be a box to select SVIDEO/COMPONENT and PAL/NTSC and such.

I had to manually edit my xorg.conf to make it work as a TV.
Dave.

Thank you for reporting this bug and for your efforts to make
Ubuntu better. As Xorg has improved this past year, an unfortunate side
effect of these improvements is that it has rendered several design
assumptions in displayconfig-gtk obsolete. So, starting with Hardy we
are no longer putting displayconfig-gtk forth as a primary configuration
tool, and are putting our development focus into the Screen Resolution
applet. As a result, we do not plan to fix this bug and thus are closing
it.
