    I am trying display onto tv with my s-video connection. I get a screen, but it is black and white. I have the settings on the standard settings, not black and white. When I switch to black and white and then switch back it is still black and white. I downloaded the newest ati radeon x300 driver and it is still black and white. Any suggestions?

    Switch the output on your laptop from NTSC to PAL.

    Switch your TV from using the composite input to the S-video input. I have AV-1 and AV-2 for that.
