    I'm trying to connect my dv7t quad (GT230m) to a television that only accepts Composite RCA (red, white, yellow) inputs. I'm not worried about audio; I'll just use the headphone jack. But for video, is there any adapter out there that will convert the VGA to R/W/Y RCA?

    I'd appreciate any suggestions (other than "buy an HDTV" :p :p )!!

    I recommend you an VGA to TV adapter. I have the same issue with my desktop and I'm waiting for an adapter myself.

    You can find some cheap ones at ebay, like this.
