I'm trying to understand how can I get S-Video output working,
because I don't have any DVI-D capable monitor to use.
I can see the colored band on u-boot boot, and I'm running Koen's
Angstrom demo (ones with e17), with uImage from google code (uImage_OTG).
I've done echo "tv" > /sys/class/display_control/omap_disp_control/graphics
as suggested in hints page.
On my TV I can see something confused in a white background, but I can't see
what it is (the login form?).
Maybe the "problem" is related to resolution and refresh rate or
something else...
xrandr --verbose returns:
Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 (0x42) normal (normal left inverted right
x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
Identifier: 0x41

Subpixel: unknown

h: width 1024 start 0 end 0 total 1024 skew 0 clock
0.0KHz
v: height 768 start 0 end 0 total 768 clock
0.0Hz
I'm a newby, and I need some suggestions on how to procede...
Thank you very much!
G.
NOTE: things have not worked for me with Angstrom -> might need some
help on that... :( probably x and y res? or some sort of udev fixes? I
am not sure...

I think I blame myself copying the bootargs from
http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BootingBeagleBoard
section:
"Bootargs for MMC File System"

I think it makes sense to get involved in that discussion and help it
go into mainstream.
