I am not saying anything is impossible, but VGA is not going to happen
without extra hardware, it just simply runs 2x as fast in its slowest
form. s-video is more likely, though your going to need a converter or
pick the signals off the motherboard as I keep threatening to do on
my //c as s-video is not a RGB signal
