TasseGrau Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 hey y'all... this site is great and so far I have been able to solve all problems concerning my OSx86-installation by browsing the forums. you people are doing a fine job... but now I've encountered something I can't fix myself: I'm running iAtkos 5i (10.5.5) on an Intel Atom-based D945GCLF2 motherboard and so far everything works (VGA-out, sound, LAN). My main machine is a fully loaded last-generation Macbook but I also wanted a small frontrow Media Center that I could connect to my Grundig M-72 tube-TV (PAL, I'm in Germany). I'm trying to connect the TV to the D945GCLF's S-Video out in addition to a VGA-screen but I just can't get it to work. I installed XP Pro on a second drive just to check whether the cable and setup are o.k. and mirroring works without hassle. now, I can't find much on the forum or someplace else on the net on that topic, so I ask you, if someone has come up with a fix... the problem is, that the screen settings panel doesn't even recognize the attached TV (I also Tried SwitchResX to no avail), on my old Titanium Powerbook, I just had to hit "detect screens" and it worked... no sucess here. Any suggestions, drivers etc are welcome (before I buy a 50 bucks external adapter box.., that will only be the absolute last resort). thank you TasseGrau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geiman Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Not working here: VGA works for me as it does you, but if I try S-Video it simply makes the screen go berserk and the only way to fix it is to do a hard reboot. I've searched for this many times to no avail, hope you have luck. And if you do, be sure to share with the rest of us... good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasseGrau Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 sooooo, does this mean that members here have spent considerable amount of research and it is currently not possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peejay Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 S-Video worked on my 10.5.6 rig using only the original kexts. Problem is you can't change resolution and Screen Sharing causes a kernel panic. I'm still looking for a solution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermx3 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 S-Video worked on my 10.5.6 rig using only the original kexts. Problem is you can't change resolution and Screen Sharing causes a kernel panic. I'm still looking for a solution... might try the dsdt method to fix the gma950 to work with the orgional kexts, works great on my rig but i dont have the svideo out to try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peejay Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'll have a look. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinito Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi I have a D945GCLF2 that I got specifically for use with the svideo out. Well it only works on Windows XP. I tried on UBUNTU and it gets a scrolling display (google it for the posting somewhere else). Already contacted intel itself and the answer was "yes it is a know issue, and we are working on it".

TasseGrau Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi I have a D945GCLF2 that I got specifically for use with the svideo out. Well it only works on Windows XP. Well, right now I'm also running it under XP which kind of sucks... I might try out the Boxee Alpha for Windows this weekend though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peejay Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Still didn't get this to work reliably. Without any kexts or with the DSDT svideo out works, but I get kernel panics when I use Screen Sharing, so something isn't quite right. No progress yet?
