I recently ported my SDVO TV out code to the intel2.1.1 driver. I've
attached my patch hopefully something in there will be of help.

I remember something along those lines but can't remember exactly what as it
was a long time ago, should be in the patch though.

I'll forward some logs to you they are a bit on the large side so I'll send
them off list.
