Looks like Rik is not the only one with this sort of problem. Here is a quote from the latest Gentoo Weekly Newsletter.......
"........Then it was time for the presentations, and the first was about Andrea Perotti's (deadhead) "Success stories of Gentoo in commercial companies". Unfortunately, Andrea had to fight the projector for an hour, and could only begin after that, leaving no time for Giovanni Ferri's (FonderiaDigitale)'s talk about the "Creation of a blackbox for securing your network environment" that was also planned for the afternoon slot. Giovanni's extraordinary presentation was finally held later that night, but ordinary visitors had all left by then, he only spoke to a nucleus of Gentoo activists, all well-fed with an intriguing local delicacy known as an F2 sandwich."

My Dell has an ATI video card, which simply does not put out a signal under linux. I've been meaning to look into the causes - but its been easier to boot XP for those few times I needed a working VGA port. -----Original Message----- From: Rik Tindall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 6 December 2004 1:28 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Laptop + projector (Was: meeting : Weds, December 1st) Nick Rout wrote: >It works apparently for Rik from windows, Confirmed Win-good: it's a Compaq-Radeon/VGA-out/Linux issue, it seems. The Function-Screen switching (LCD, external, or both) also does not work under Linux. Using this is necessary to project DVD-play under Windows, because one must disable the LCD's frequency for the VGA-out/projector to settle its own requisite Hz.
