    Anyone know how to get the TV features for the Nvidia control panel to work on your T61? I've got my T61 hooked up to a TV by a vga to component video cord. However, I can't get the picture to come out on the TV correctly. I think I have to change the format to PAL since that is the type of TV I'm using. For some reason the TV features in the Nvidia control panel aren't visible. Anyone successfully get their T61 hooked up to their TV?

    You might need a transcoder/converter box.

    From what I've read it seems some video cards and/or drivers
    support the cable-only solution, as you've implemented, and
    some require a transcoder box to convert.

    If you're hooked up via VGA then your video card likely thinks you're connected to a monitor.
