Hi there!
My laptop has a 7 pin s-video output in wich i connected one end of a 4 pin s-video cable and the other end (4 pin also) i connected to a scart adaptor. This scart adaptor as 4 entrys. One is a s-video entry, and the other 3 entrys are rcas (2 for left and right audio and one for video). As an output this adaptor has a scart entry. So I only connected the s-video from the pc to the s-video entry of the adaptor as an input. And connected the output of the adapator as a scart male directly to the scart female input of the TV (usually it's the "av->1" or "av->2" channels of the TV).
Here's an example of this kind of adpator:

Since i don't have a s-video input on my TV, only 2 scarts inputs (and also compositive entry), i have to use some this kind of adaptor to change from s-video to scart.
The problem is that i can only see my pc in black & white in the TV. My television supports PAL B & G (stated by the TV Manual), and my display definitions of my ATI graphic card is set to that kind of display (it's set by country, in this case Portugal, which is PAL B, G or H).
Any ideas please?
Tanx!
