How do I get the Milkdrop Visualization to shoot out of my svideo outpuut from my laptop and display it on my 61 in tv?

Will it run at the same speed as on the laptop to the TV or laggy?

shouldn't be to hard. most laptops have specific key's that can send your desktop through the video-out.
use your function key(Fn next to left control) and one of the F-key's.
I know that on mine it's F7. Maybe different for you. but there you should be an icon on it in a different color, wich is the same as your fn key's color.

You will have you entire desktop transferred to the TV though.

It won't lag, either. Sending a video signal to the TV doesn't require any 'thinking', as the graphics were already rendered by your gfx card and were converted into an electric stream which your TV will decode just like it does TV.
