My wife's Dell Inspiron 1300 does not have a TV out connector, but we'd like to connect it to the TV if possible. We've purchased a game for our daughters that needs to be played through a TV ideally. The laptop has a standard VGA connector.

I've seen a VGA to S-Video adapter for relatively little money. Should this work? Has anyone else managed too get this working, or does the laptop specifically need to support TV output?
