I have a t61 with the nvidia quadro nvs 140. Nvidia's spec page says it supports tv out, but the only port is vga and my tv doesnt have a vga input, it does have s-video though. So I bought this adapater:

Unfortunately, I'm not having any success getting it to work. I've been playing around with the video settings and nothing so far. Anyone have any suggestions?

Product Description:(*)It will work with VGA cards that has TV-Out function capability through the VGA connector.
Check your Video Card manual or manufacturer to make sure that your VGA card has TV-Out function capability.
Unfortunately the t61 does not have video out through VGA.

With only Svideo you won't get much resolution anyway.

From S-Video WIKI: S-Video, as most commonly implemented, carries 480i or 576i resolution
