Output screen to TV set using S-video

Output screen to TV set using S-video

I'm trying to display pictures on the TV, to show them to friends and family. But when I join the TV and computer using a S-video cable, nothing happens.

"It sort of works now. Using a mixture of the ""Display"" and ""Multiple screens"" applications, and:

xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1

I was able to display part of my desktop on the TV, but no higher than 800x600.

This should be sufficient - I leave tonight to my grandparent's home; I hope I can get this to work to show them photos on the TV as I won't have Internet access!"
