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 wrote: > On Sat, 15 Mar 2008, Paul B.
