Hi Bryce,

I tried your guide but I get the following errors. Note I am logged into the system under test using VNC as the only monitor connected is the TV via S-Video which is a constant black screen. Also, I have replaced S-Video with TV in the commands you listed as the intel driver uses this identifier.

In the setting up S-Video section I did the following:
Command: xrandr --output TV --set load_detection 1
Result:
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 156 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 11 ()
Serial number of failed request: 17

I also tried option B putting the command into the xorg.conf file and restarting but first boot gave a black screen again.

Option C does nothing:
xrandr --addmode TV 800x600
The command appears to run successfully (there are no errors to the terminal) but the TV screen remains black.
