    Hi,

    I'm now trying to connect the laptop to my TV. I have an S-Video cable which I used to connect my desktop to the TV (the cable is fine, my desktop has an 9600 too and it works). Now I connected it to the laptop, but in no way I can see image on my tv.

    I used to have the latest ati drivers, but now I rolled back to the ones supplied by acer. No luck either way.

    As you can see, it doesn't recognise that the TV is connected to the laptop.

    Ok, I found it. It needed a different cable than the one I used to use with my desktop. :)
