    Has anyone figured out how to get video out of the S-Video connector?

    I believe with most of the HP/COmpaq units, you have to hit Fn + F4 or F5 to get it to goto external video.
    1. Hookup S-Video cable to TV
    2. Change TV to S-Video mode (Channel 90 on my TV)
    3. Bootup notebook and when you're in OS, hit & hold Fn and then hit F4 or F5, you may have to tap it a few times to switch to TV mode, there's a few choices for each tap, once for external monitor, twice for external TV, 3 times for LCD & external monitor/TV

    ** Note: some TV's may not support the higher resolutions, so you man have to drop your desktop resolution for it to work.
