Intel 965 chipset, VGA to s-video

I have a Lenovo T61 with an Intel 965 Express chipset. It has no s-video out and i was wondering if I could buy a vga to s-video cable or if I would have to buy a converter box. I am told my graphics card will support TV output but I have not been able to get it working.

Hi snoboardin70, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
You will need a converter box to go from VGA to S-video. Search the community and you'll find several discussions about this.

  • Satellite Pro L300: x3100 and Intel 965 chipset graphics driver update

    Has anyone else installed the Intel 7.15.10.1666 driver, dated 26/02/2009 for the Mobile 965 chipset? Here's their web page for getting to the download:
    http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/
    For some reason unknown to me, Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 doesn't work with the Intel auto driver update (the download with the exe file). Therefore I followed their instructions for a manual install (the download with the zip file).
    My laptop is working just fine with this new driver, and there is a definite improvement in the transitions between images when using the Windows presentation option (slideshow).
    This new driver also installs 3 graphics programs from Intel:
    Hotkeys for display management
    System tray access
    TV wizard
    I used Windows Defender to remove these 3 from programs that automatically load at system startup to keep a fast boot time and not load unnecessary programs into memory. This hasn't caused me any problems.
    Why hasn't Toshiba added this to the driver downloads page?

    Hi
    Thanks for this info mate...
    > Why hasn't Toshiba added this to the driver downloads page?
    Who knows maybe it has not been checked, approved and tested by Toshiba?
    As far as I know every notebook manufacturers test and approve the drivers before they will be released on the driver pages
    Maybe it has not been approved...
    However, its good news that this driver is working properly.
    I will check it too on my notebook.
    Cheers

  • ENT Linux on intel 965 chipset  based systems

    Hi
    I am unable to install ENT Linux on my new Box (intel core 2 duo / dg965whmkr MoB / 2 G RAM) . Issue is installer fails to detect CDROM.
    Anybody succeeded installing ENT linux on a similar config like mine. Please help
    Regards
    Reju

    Reju,
    I have looked and searched the net for the information and all I have found out is that there has been installation on the same hardware with a number of different versions of linux but they had to use a external USB CD-ROM to install it, it did not work with the standard internal CD-ROM with kernel lower than 2.6.18.
    Maybe this helps or maybe not, but unfortunately this is the only thing I found out!

  • Install on mobile intel 965 express family chipset

    can i install windows 10 technical preview on mobile intel 965 express family chipset

    Not very likely.  It's an old and obsolete chipset and Intel has ended support of it with Windows 7.  The latest drivers are almost 6 years ago.

  • Intel 810 Chipset - Graphics Driver

    Hello everybody out there!,
    Does anyone know if Solaris 8 for the Intel platform supports the Intel 810 Chipset, cause I'm trying to install Solaris 8 on my computer but the list of supported video cards does not includes it?...I will appreciate if anyone can provied advice on it.

    Apply patch 109401-10.
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?patchid=109401&collection=fpatches
    The installation procedure is to install Solaris 8 with standard VGA (640x480). Then install the patch with "patchadd 109401-10". Once this is done, make sure you are exiting the X server by choosing "Command Line Login" at the login screen. Log in as root and type "kdmconfig". The Intel chip should be in the list of available drivers.

  • [T420] VGA to S-video or composite video

    I want to connect a T420 to an older TV.  Can I use this VGA to s-video/composite adapter?  The website says:
    "Your  video card MUST be able to support s-Video or Composite out through it's VGA port. This is known as a TV out function. If you don't know if your video card can do this, then call the card manufacturer and ask them "Does my video card support S-Video or Composite Video out through its VGA port?""
    So, does the video card in the T420 (Intel HD 3000) support S-Video or Composite Video out (more importantly composite video) through its VGA port?
    W520 i7-2720QM | 32 GB RAM 1333 MHz | FHD 1920x1080 | Quadro 1000M | Windows 7 & Ubuntu 14.04
    Crucial M500 480GB mSATA + 2 x 1 TB Hitachi Travelstar 7200 rpm | BIOS 1.38

    Hi biznatch!
    The T420 does not support s-Video or Composite out through it's VGA port. You need an active VGA converter box.
    Hope this helps!

  • MacBooks w/ Intel x3100 Chipset = Problems.

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone else using newer MacBooks with the intel x3100 chipset are having problems with their computer? I purchased my MacBook about two months ago. It is a Black MacBook: 2.2ghz Intel Duo, 1 gig ram, intel x3100, leopard 10.5.2. I installed world of warcraft and the burning crusade, downloaded the patches and logged in. WoW crashed after about 30 seconds of gameplay, this happens consistently in full screen or windowed mode. Also when watching a longer flash video or playing some flash games my browser and/or entire computer will crash. I was using the latest firefox, but have switched back to safari3, as it seems to run considerably smoother. anyway just wondering what people experiences are with the macbooks with the intel x3100 chip.

    frankly I gave up on gaming on mine. I pay WoW on a 1.8 Sempron, 1GB ram, with a Geforce 6600 and my 2.16, dual-core, 2GB V2 macbook can't keep up at all. With the settings on Low it was barely passable compared to a very-low-end PC. Benchmarks show the 3100 is only 50% better than nothing. Blizzard heavily hacked WoW to work on Macbooks with the 950 chipset, then Intel finally "fixed" the major hardware missing issues with 3100 opening up a new batch of stuff that "almost" works like a normal GPU should. Blizzard made a great attempt to get WoW on a sub-2003 graphics subsystem... but by the time you strip it down, you're not playing the game as intended and it suffers.
    The Macbook is a great computer, personally I like the fact it's smaller than the Pros and easier to maintain. It seems less fragile than a Pro, and easier to grab-n-go. Comes with great software and is leaps above a PC. (I had one of those Dell 700m machines for 2 years at work as my full time machine and loved it, the macbook is a sleeeker, faster machine that doesn't feel "hacked" when you look at the bottom) But they chose to really shoot any kind of gaming with the macbook in the foot.
    What I'd really like to see is a blackbook priced macbook (non-pro options) with the 8400 chipset (now that pro is 8600 it shouldn't conflict), that would be in line with other PC makers that put that chip in notebooks cheaper than the macbook.

  • New Intel BIOS for VGA - Satellite A200

    Hello everyone,
    Intel has new vga BIOS for Intel x3100 graphics card, this new bios are in 15.6.1 drivers. My notebook is a Satellite and has this graphic card, and my question is if somebody knows when we can download the new BIOS with new VGA in Toshiba downloads??
    Thanks

    Hi,
    unfortunately this VGA BIOS is not available separately for a mobile system since the VGA BIOS is embedded in the normal BIOS. So if you want to have the latest from toshiba supported VGA BIOS then just update your machines BIOS.
    The problem is that a mobile VGA chipset has another memory and chip timings, so every manufacturer has (especially) its own version of the VGA BIOS.

  • Mini-VGA to S-video Adapter / Getting Original Display Setting Back

    I purchased the Mini VGA to S-Video Adapter. Works good with my HD Television. But no I cant get my original Display settings back. I dont know exactly what the setting was but it had more screen space. Please Help, Ryan

    So you have a good picture on your TV but not your mac?
    Open the display pane of system preferences, leave the settings that come up under VGA Adapter (or whatever it calls itself) But for the iMac settings, colour should be millions, and then just go through the different resolutions until you find one that you like.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Options for VGA to S video/ composite video over Mini displayport

    I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro that i want to connect to a standard def tv with s video and composite inputs. I already own the mini displaport to VGA adapter. I have found two adapters on amazon that convert VGA to s/composite video. one is $4 and is just a cable. The other is a $40 box with vga input and video output. my question is, do i need to shell out for the expensive one or will the cheap cable do just fine? i have heard NTSC out a lot while poking around. does my computer have that?
    Adapter #1 (cheap one) http://tinyurl.com/yc6topv
    Adapter #2 (expensive one) http://tinyurl.com/yd6qnvs
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello, I am first time forums user and a new mac owner.
    What I am having trouble with is a very similar thing but I have a brand new macbook pro 17 so I am pretty sure my connector is slightly different. I found this...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A
    This seems to be a connector which comes out of the mini-dvi port and has a connector for rca/svideo. I have a mini-dvi to vga that I bought with the mac and then I have an old vga to rca/s-video connector cable like the cheap option the original poster gave.
    My mac responds as it should but the tv signal is totally screwed up. I also tried hooking it to a projector using rca and that said no signal. The mini-dvi port to vga works but I am not 100% on the vgs to rca connector I haven't used it in so long. It is going to be a pain for me to test it though.
    Should this work? DO I need to mess around with refresh rates?
    Thanks

  • Poor resolution from mini-vga to s-video adapter

    I recently bought a digital projector to watch movies on at home, and am using my 14"iBook as the video source. It works great when using a vga cable. However, i want to run the cables up through the ceiling and down through the wall to keep them out of sight. I had read that S-video was supposed to be a fairly high resolution method of transmitting the signal, and is also a lot slimmer than vga (and thus easier to snake through the walls.) So I bought a mini vga to s-video/ video adapter and when I hook it up to the projector, the image quality is very poor. Is there a setting that needs to be changed on my iBook to get it to display properly, or something else that I'm missing? I bought the adapter used on ebay, so I'm trying to troubleshoot the problem without buying another adapter only to find out that it still doesn't work. Also, I am running screen spanning doctor, but even if I change to mirror mode, it still looks bad.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply, John. That was my suspicion. Guess I'll have to drill giant holes to be able to run the VGA cable. Unless of course I could figure out how to remove/re-attach the connector end. Anyone know if this is possible? Or, is it possible to find a 15' long mini vga? It seems that there ought to be someone out there who could make custom cables for unique situations and needs like mine. What I really need is a box that runs off my ibook that has multiple display outputs so that i don't have to pull cords every time I want to switch from my 22" widescreen to my projector.

  • Satellite P300-18M - VGA to S-Video / RCA cable - No Picture on TV

    Hi,
    First of all, I am trying to use my other laptop (Dell Lattitude D630) I with my TV, however, this other laptop only has a VGA output.
    So I bought a VGA to S-Video and RCA adapter from e-Bay: [Picture|http://members.lycos.co.uk/jtfearnley/Hosting/Images/RCA%20To%20S-Video%20RCA.jpg]
    However, this does not work, the laptop in question does have "TV Out through VGA", so it should work according to various websites, and the seller....
    However, I then tried to test it with my Satellite P300-18M, and it does not work with this either, I have tried both the composite (yellow port) and S-video port, in three different TV's, and there is no picture.
    I have tried changing the settings in the ATI Catalyst Controll Centre, eg, forcing TV detection, and it detects the TV, however there is no picture on the TV, only grey lines.
    If I cange the resoution and Refresh rate I can sort of get an image: [TV Picture|http://members.lycos.co.uk/jtfearnley/Hosting/Images/TV.jpg]
    But this is the best thing.
    In the past I have used all three television sets with my P300 using direct S-Video, so I do not understand why it will not work with this adapter.
    Also, I know that this isn't a Dell forum, but I am not a member there, and this question is also concerning my Toshiba notebook, as it would be useful to be able to use the adapter for RCA instead of S-Video.
    Thanks

    Hi
    From my knowledge the VGA port can be used only in connection with an external monitor/LCD but not with the TV.
    The point is that the common PAL TV (not LCD or plasma) supports a max resolution of 720 X 576px at 50Hz (NTSC 720 X 480 at 60Hz).
    As far as I know only the s-video port provides such resolution.
    The VGA port provides higher resolutions which are supprted by most external monitors.
    However, I never connected the notebook to TV via VGA port so I can provide only some assumptions.
    Of course it could be possible that the VGA to S-Video and RCA adapter is not fully compatible.
    I read on different pages that cheap no-name adapters dont work as it should.

  • VGA to S-video or composite video adapter

    I need some way to get the video output of my computer to my T.V. The computer has no S-video or anything other outputs for video besides the VGA one. And I don't have a T.V. with VGA input. Has anyone ever seen an adapter for something like this? I know I can get a splitter for the VGA so I can keep my monitor plugged in at the same time, but I need something to convert the VGA for the T.V.

    Welcome, jacob1982!
    Could you please post which TV model or which inputs
    the TV does have?  I ask this because if
    you have HDMI input on the TV then you just need a
    cable and a converter
    adapter.  You can split VGA output by
    using this VGA
    Splitter. I looked on bestbuy.com for a VGA to S-Video adapter I had once
    purchased but it appears we may not have them anymore? You can also try going
    into your local store for assistance (hint: these adapters may be found in the
    TV area).

    I think you need an active converter for this, not just a cable. Try a web search.

  • Kanex ATV Pro VGA to S-Video?

    Anybody using a Kanex ATV Pro with an Apple TV, know if a simple VGA to S-Video, or composite cable will allow it to be used with an older CRT Television?

    Rudegar, you may not have seen this:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H9139VC/A/kanex-atv-pro-airplay-mirroring-for- vga-projector-cable?
    We normally say that converters are a bad idea but if Apple sell this it is presumably supported.
    I've got an old VGA projector and am tempted to get one.
