Hi Gene, Is there anything specific I need to do to get s-video output
from my laptop?.
I thought I just need to plug it in.
I tried the following things -
1) Set the monitor reslution to least (800 x 600)
2) set output monitors as both laptop & television
3) set the output format to PAL/B coz my TV is PAL.
Is there anything else I need to keep in mind to get the s-video
output?.
thanks for you reply.
cheers
