Alex, You Rock!

I've never really had a need to use the S-Video output on my T42.  But, a 
friend (who recently converted from Linux to OS X) was over this weekend 
with his PowerBook.  He wanted to show off how cool the iTunes 
visualizations are.  So, he hooked his laptop up to the TV.  I thought "I 
bet my T42 can do that, but it'd be a matter of modifying the Xorg.conf 
file".

I guess I just want you to know that I apprecate the work you're doing to 
write that driver.  If you need a test case, let me know!
