Sometimes I want to use a projector as a secondary monitor (mostly with beamer style presentations). I haven't been able to find any good pointers on how to get it to use the external monitor/projector properly. Any suggestions? Ideal would be having the option of either have the screen and the external monitor/projector show the same things _or_ being treated as separate entities... /Par -- Par Leijonhufvud par@hunter-gatherer.org > Having not taken physics or astronomy past the first-year university level, > I can't imagine what "gravity" becomes when you're a PhD.
