I am using Zorin 10 on my laptop. With Win7, I am able to Plug my computer into my TV,( using the VGA port) go to Youtube, and watch the youtube video on my TV screen. Is there a software pack that will allow me to do this in Zorin 10? If so, can someone tell me how to install it. I am new to Lenux. Maybe just a way to activate the VGA port with Zorin.

I would have said it to be an interface issue not software - This is what I had used for watching catchup TV via internet on netbook - but copyright seems to have prevented this from occurring now!:

You would also need hdmi cable, audio split from headphone socket to left and right on hdmi-to-vga-box:

and VGA Cable:
