note that: 1. various projectors support a limited resolution (e.g. up to 800x600). 2. various projectors support a limited refresh rate (e.g. up to 75Hz).
if you try to feed them with a higher resolution/refresh rate, they go blank. what you might want to do, is prepare an alternative X configuration file with 800x600 at 70Hz, and launch a 2nd X server for use with projectors - it _might_ help. --guy On Tue, 30 May 2006, Gabor Szabo wrote: > Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 12:46:47 +0300 > From: Gabor Szabo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: IGLU Mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: projectors and Linux > > I am always struggling with this, maybe someone can help. > > Nearly always when I connect my notebook to projector > I have to reboot the notebook so it will recognize the projector. > > Then when it boots it is always in 640x480 resolution and I don't even have > higher resolution in Screen Resolution Preferences.
