Does anyone here know how I can hook up my laptop to my television
without using an s-video cable? is there some sort of an adapter that
I can make to plug into my serial external monitor plug? If there is,
let me know, I would greatly apreciate it.

Thanks,
Lukas Bartee

There are such adapters, but they are expensive (over $100). What is
your objection to S-Video? There are some inexpensive ($5-$10) adapters
you can get that will convert S-Video outputs to composite outputs.
