I like to watch movies and clips alot, so a 15.4" is not really and
impressive or a great option, therefore, I wanted to be able to plug my
laptop to the Samsung TV at home through an S-Video cable in order to
watch the movies.
However, I was not able to properly configure xorg.conf and I googled
for S-Video and xorg but most of the results I found were Linux related
(although I doubt it would make a big difference) but none worked with
me. My xorg.conf is appended.
If I connect my laptop to the TV while my X is running and fn+F5 my TV
screen tries to display X but the screen keeps on flickering. I tried
shutting down X, connecting and fn+F5 it works fine but after I start X
again, it keeps on flickering :(
Any help would be really appreciated :)
