Debian Laptop

Hi All!

I have a HP Pavilion zv5260 laptop. Today I got the HP XC1000 media
cable from ebay to solve the problem with power jack. The cable has an
s-video and my laptop's video card has a video-out.

I'd like to connect this laptop to TV to be able to watch DVD's on a
bigger screen. How can I do this ? Do I need to edit xorg.conf ? Did
anybody do that ? With this cable ?

Any suggestions will be very welcome...

TIA

BTW, I am running Etch.
