So I am starting to pick this project back up. My first order of business is getting the laptop video to play on my very old television.
My laptop has S-Video out which can be conveniently be turned into RCA through a very cheap adapter. I purchased the adapter from www.newegg.com for around $10.
However, they can't make it that easy. I've been messing around for over an hour trying to figure out how to activate the TV-Out on this stupid laptop. I've downloaded 3rd party drivers for the nVidia card that is in this thing but have had no luck. It doesn't recognized that the TV is connected, and since it doesn't detect the TV, it won't allow me to turn on the TV display.
It's time for bed methinks (it's just like me to start projects as I'm heading to bed) so I will attempt to pick this back up tomorrow.
We shall see where this goes...
