The s-video port on the Wallstreet is a video-OUT port. I am not sure I understand what exactly does not work. 1) If your iBook is one of the white ones (not the roundish colored older models), it should have a tv-out port. To use it you may need to purchase an apple AV cable (not included with these machines). These cables carry video and audio out to tv. If you don't need audio and have a similar cable from, say, a camcorder, then you may be able to use that, but you'll have to *not* push the plug all the way into the iBook, and fiddle a bit to align the video connector (the Apple AV cable has a different layout of the video and two audio connectors, so the same port can also be used just as a stereo audio out). 2) If you must use the Wallstreet: Try to connect the video out and have the tv turned on and with the right input selected *before* you start the wallstreet (That was necessary with OS 9, I'm not sure about X). If your screen does not show up on the tv, look at the Displays part of System Preferences. Make sure to select "All" instead of just "Recommended" in the Resolutions pane. Scroll down and see if there is any option that refers to the S-video out or tv or something like that. If it works, then you should have your desktop showing on tv. If the screen goes black, just wait about 15 secs and it will revert to the built-in display. hth Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
