I downloaded the tpctl package and it reports the TV out connector is
disabled.  I looked for a setting in the BIOS, but couldn't find
anything.  I don't know at this point though if the tpctl software is
enough to enable the connector, but my cable is bad, or if I'm missing
another piece of software.  Do you have any pointers to the linux
driver?  I've been unsuccessful with google so far...
