hi guys,

thanks

I don't think there's a universal answer to this question, since it depends on the specific hardware. A restart may be required, with the TV plugged in. In my case, my eee PC has an Intel chipset, so there's an applet in Control Panel that lets me select the various modes, including an "extended desktop" between the two screens. Or have a look in Display Properties, see what's in the Advanced tab.

Try setting VGA or some other really low res, then cycle F whatever.

Does your laptop allow video in or only video out?
