Peter, not an expert by any means and it has been a while since I had anything to do with the clamshells, but as far as I am aware, the clamshells only had video out through a special plug and cable that plugged into the speaker socket. Sounds strange but if you put in a 3 section earphone plug, you got sound and if you put in the 4 section video adaptor cable, you got video. The cable had three white, red, yellow RCA plugs on the other end and was designed to be plugged into a TV,etc but the resolution was pretty low (VGA) so it looked pretty ghastly - text on screen was a waste of time - unreadable. I don't know of any other way of getting video out of a clamshell. but any minute now, someone will pop on and tell me I'm wrong. Hope this is of some help.
