But I haven't tested that empirically. 1) Plug the external display into the appropriate port (e.g. TV to the S-Video, or external monitor to the back VGA plug). Turn the external display on. 2) Go to your desktop, right-click and go into Display Properties. Switch to the "Settings" tab, click on "Advanced" button. 3) On the S3Display tab, you can then pick which devices you want to use in combination (you can pick up to two). Most other modern graphics drivers should have a similar control panel.
