    Sorry to double post this (put it in the gaming/graphics section as well). But I want to order this soon so I can get it next week and I know there are some real 2510p experts on this forum so I figured this might be a better place to post it.

    Anyway I own an HP 2510p Laptop with Intel X3100 graphics, I want to get this VGA to S-Video/Composite adapter as my girlfriend has an older TV with no VGA input or anything like that and we like to use my laptop to watch movies and TV shows but it is a pain to have to keep a dock there just to get s-video out. In fact that dock makes me mad because the only port it adds that isn't already on the laptop is s-video But it says under the description it says...

    "Your video card MUST be able to support s-Video or Composite out through it's VGA port. This is known as a TV out function"

    I am pretty sure that the 3100 has supports this since the docking station I own for it has an s-video output and the graphics driver has an Intel TV Wizard but I just want to confirm, not a big deal as it is only like $5 shipped but I would like to know if it will work rather than being let down when I try it myself.

    Thanks
