I just did a clean install of Mythbuntu Maverick RC on a computer with an ATI Radeon 8500 video card with a VGA, DVI and S-video port.

When I type "xrandr", the output does not show "S-video".

I can't think what to try next (short of finding another video card), and I have been unable to find any references to this problem for older (R200) cards, rather than newer cards. Does anybody have any suggestions?
