Connecting Laptop to OEM Navi

Last night I tried to hook two different laptops up to my stock Navi.

I currently have a video --> RGB adapter installed and it workd fine with my DVD player.

I connected my laptop to my tv in my house through an Svideo --> video adapter and it worked, but the color was washed out (which is 100% ok).

However, when I plug my laptop in to the RGB adapter the colors are completely wrong (green and pink). Anyone have any clue why this is happening?

The 2nd laptop had a straight video out and I couldn't get it to show up at all.

Any help would be appreciated!

The pins/cables most likely aren't matching up right. By RGb, do you mean component video?

The RGB is stright RGB with sync. Like I said, I have a converter that works fine with my DVD player (the yellow composite plug).

I know that a passive Svideo --> composite adapter will wash the colors a bit, but with my laptop it completely screws them up!
