Unfortunately, load detection for tv-out is inherently unreliable on a lot of boards (You can end up with false positives and false negatives). The best option is to force the tv-out connection on or off in your console or xorg config.

Fair enough, however that's what I tried but it doesn't seem to work either. I have this definition in xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor" Identifier "S-Video Monitor" Option "Enabled" "false" EndSection

According to the Xorg.0.log it is picked up:

(II) RADEON(0): Output S-video using monitor section S-Video Monitor

but then this:

(II) RADEON(0): Output LVDS connected (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 disconnected (II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 disconnected (II) RADEON(0): Output S-video connected (II) RADEON(0): Using exact sizes for initial modes (II) RADEON(0): Output LVDS using initial mode 800x600 (II) RADEON(0): Output S-video using initial mode 800x600

Is there any other way to disable a connector? How to do it on the console?
