Hey - I've got a "video out" RCA jack on my laptop, which hooks just fine into my television, but I can't figure out how to set my video resolution to 640 x 480. When I hook it up as is (1024 x 768), I only get about a quarter of the screen showing on my TV. When I lower the resolution to 800 x 600, I get most of the screen, but I still don't get the whole thing. My display settings don't seem to go any lower than 800 x 600. I have an S3 Graphics SuperSavage/IXC 1179 video card in the laptop. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite from about 5 years ago.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would love to be able to hook my laptop into the TV. It would be really cool to play some multi-player games without having to gather a bunch of people around the LCD screen on my laptop, and without having to try to fit two or three of us at my little computer desk.
