    I have just connected my IBM Thinkpad laptop to my TV using an S-Video Cable. I've gotten the picture to display on the TV, but i'm getting an expanded screen. What I mean is, is that the picture is too big for the TV. Although, when I move the mouse to the sides, the screen scrolls. I tried changing the screen resolution to as low as possible, and it helped a bit, but it's still too big. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Even if you set it to 640x480, the resolution is to big for the TV. Its not an ideal way of doing it to be honest...
