Default Laptop EVO N610 s-video outpu problem

hi,
I have an EVO N610 Laptop connected to my tv using s-video connection.
Everything is fine but when playing videos media players do not pass video
signal
to output. (tried out WMP and DIVX)
I guess it might be sort of hardware problem or this functionality is
deliberately disabled.
I thought the s-video output is there to connect the laptop to tv and watch
it.....
Is there any way around?

Cheers
Dusan

Check your video driver and make sure you have your properties set up
correctly in the display applet in the control panel for the "TV"
settings.

if i remember correctly ( i used to have a 600) you need to set the tv
as the primary monitor, it will only display video on the primary
monitor when using mirroring.
i think you can also turn off mirroring and drag the mediaplayer window
to the tv, but once you go to fullscreen mode it will jump back to the
lcd screen again.

Thanks, it works now. Yes, setting tv to primery monitor does the job.
