This might occur if the display device is only capable of PAL or NTSC, and the generated signal is of the the other type.

If this is the case, it should be possible to explicitly set the required format with a minimal xorg.conf (or edit the newer xorg config files).

This might be useful too:

Howdy,

Am running a dv9500, not the same but perhaps close enough to offer some thoughts.

I’m running a nVidia GPU, so my preferred use of nVidia utilities isn’t available to you. I’m not aware that similar Intel GPU utilities exist.

Depending on what Desktop you’re running, detection, selection and configuration may be automatic. I’m running KDE so I can configure an external display with

Start>Configure Desktop>Display & Monitor>Multiple Monitors

Note if you manually altered your xOrg config file you may not get expected results.
