Hello,
As the title indicates, I have a question about the T60's VGA port.
While I don't have pressing need for it, I would like to watch movies and such on my TV once in a while instead of on the 15" screen.
With my old T42, it was a relatively simple matter of connecting an S-Video cable, hitting Fn+F7 and all was well in the world.
However, the T60 seems to have done away with the S-Video port, replacing it with a rather cumbersome VGA port instead. I figured it would be a simple matter of buying a VGA -> S-Video/Composite (No component, unfortunately, my TV doesn't support it) adapter/cable and plugging it in. Unfortunately, from browsing around, it seems people can't even get this to work for some reason. Does anyone have any cheap solutions to get around this? I would very much like to avoid spending $50 for some type of converter box or $200 for a dock.
Thanks in advance.
PS:
My T60 specs are listed in my sig, if needed.

I am trying to set up an AV hub in a conference room with output to a TV. I couldn't figure out how to do it simply with a t60P. I have ordered (but not received) this box from Amazon. Unfortunately, it doesn't look it supports the composite output you need but maybe you can use the S video.
