    Hi everyone,

    I have a Gateway laptop running an ATI Xpress 200M video chip (AMD model). I'd like to hook it up to a TV for the second monitor option, but the laptop only comes with a VGA out, not an S-Video. Is there some software solution to downgrade the output from 60 Hz to 30 Hz? I'd then use a VGA to S-Video adapter cable to plug it into the tv (right now when I do this I get the desktop image, but in black and white and distorted, similar to what you get when trying to run PAL video tapes on an NTSC player (yes, I'm old enough to have tried that back in the day). Any help would be appreciated.
