I connect with SVGA, 
	TV has HDMI, SVGA, S-VHS, Laptop has SVGA, SVHS, Neither have DVI,
	I recall S-VHS gave low res, & only monochrome=B/W.

After you solve your connection, To share displays:
	cd /usr/ports/x11/xrandr; make install ; man xrandr
You will notice one can move & share xterms etc between screeen,
but [some] video players seem sticky & wont move so easily (video
frame buffers I recall?, I havent had time to look into it much)

Cheers,
Julian
