I do not know if "Option" line can accept device name directly or not like the following sample for mouse : Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" where you may specify device for monitor as USB connected device . In your laptop , if there is an external VGA connection port , by using a "VGA to HDMI converter" adapter , connection of TV should be easy : http://www.amazon.com/CE-Compass-Laptop-Converter-Adapter/dp/B008AGUF3I/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1352213785&sr=1-10&keywords=vga+to+hdmi+converter Thank you very much .
