Dont hold me for this: but I remmeber that I read somewhere that if projector is connected before Xorg starts available resolutions to projector would be limited. So best is to disconnect and connect it again when Xorg is already running. Beware: I dont have experience with projectors with Xorg, only with seconds monitors but that is different story. I hope that there are somebody over there with more experience with projectors than me. On 3/15/08, KAYVEN RIESE <kayve@sfsu.edu> wrote: > On Sat, 15 Mar 2008, Paul B.
