Powerstrip supports the Radeon and runs fine on most ThinkPads, but years
ago I nearly killed a display using it (my own stupidity, not a Powerstrip
fault) so I am very leery of it now. On a newer/expensive laptop like your
T500 I would be inclined to just use a converter box; VGA to composite boxes
are available for under $20 nowadays.

Subject: [Thinkpad] Thinkpad on Oldstyle TV ?
Hi,
I need to connect a T500 with VGA and HDMI output to an old (Tube) PAL
TV. Just don't ask, why, please :)
I could buy some converter box, but...
There are several simple circuits floating around in order to convert
VGA to RGB-in-Scart, however I'd still need to generate a 15kHz video
signal. There are some applications for that (Soft15khz) but those
depend of the specific video chipset (this one has a ATI Mobility Radeon
HD 3650).
I'm wondering if the correct video signal could be generated by
buggering the Thinkvantage Presentation director settings. Anybody tried
something like that, or knows if Soft15khz or something similar works on
this Radeon?
