The socket on my T21 is a 7-pin female socket.  I didn't get a
lead with the machine; I used a bog standard s-video lead and
pluged it into my tv which happens to have an s-video input.

So presumably the extra proprietary pins on the thinkpad are
composite video and 2 sound channels.  That explains how it can be
wired to a scart.
