Thank you for the response Rick. That will certainly work. I was sort of hopping for a more automatic solution. I don't really want to be messing around with config files when I'm setting up to do a presentation. Are there any better solutions? -Original Message- From: clug-talk-boun

Except that this is wrong. In a modern distro like Ubuntu 10.10 this just works. Linux is as popular as it needs to be. Framing the discussion in this way misses the point entirely (and is largely irrelevant). On Sat, Apr 23, 2011 at 12:55 PM, CITS - Lists wrote: > Lol, and we wonder why Linux

I totally agree with the last comment - there is just a lag in technology with regards to projectors in three arenas. One, they are driven by the computer market, when laptops, monitors, etc went wide screen - it takes a while before projectors are able to handle this. Second, the turn over fo
