Enable TV-Out under Linux:
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the "Device" section of your graphics card, add
Option "MonitorLayout" "TV,LFP"
Option "Clone" "true"
Now you can turn on/off the TV-Out by executing the commands
echo "dvi_enable" > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
or
echo "dvi_disable" > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
Or toggle between them with
echo "video_switch" > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
(This is known to work on a T43 with a "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900")
