I have an Acer Aspire One netbook with windows xp, which I'm trying to hook up to my tv, to use it as a bigger monitor. I bought the rca/svideo to vga cable and plugged it all in. When I hit Fn+F5 to switch output, it doesn't give me any options to switch to a monitor, just shows my computer icon.. I've tried hooking it up to a computer monitor, and it works fine then. Why won't it work to my tv? Do I have to change some other output settings?

Thanks.
