I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 / E1505 laptop with an ATI X1400 graphics card. I use the fglrx driver as I run Compiz-Fusion, currently under both Fedora Core 6 and Ubuntu 7.04. The hardware has both VGA and S-video outputs. In the past (I don't remember under what distro or drivers, I've played around too much) I have successfully gotten video out of the VGA to a CRT monitor, but never S-Video to a television. I am considering purchasing a VGA-to-RCA adaptor, such as one of these two: http://cgi.ebay.com/1-5M-HIGH-QUALITY-VGA-MALE-TO-RGB-COMPONENT-CABLE_W0QQitemZ190189958468QQihZ009QQcategoryZ3704QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/VGA-To-S-VIDEO-RCA-Composite-Adapter-Connector-Cable-PC_W0QQitemZ190188539672QQihZ009QQcategoryZ31531QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem The first one does not list any prerequisites, however the second one says this: "Notes: the VGA must has TV out directly through VGA port function. Please refer VGA card's user manual (not included) before you use." Of course, the seller, nor ATI, are very helpful in the manner. What do the experienced folk here think? I express my gratitude in advance for any advice.
