I have yet to find anything good for the M$ stuff. While the M$ stuff has only got worse in stark contrast gnu/linux has only got better. Till date there has been only one thing that has not worked for me - that too only because of my laziness - pptp on reliance network for a specifically M$ mangled version of M$ ppp. Yesterday my wife spent a good day trying to get some tool working on 98. She gave up after 3 w98 reinstalls. > > > The question that I have ask is this.

Editing the h and v freq in XF86config-4 always gets it working. On the rear occasion (in the distant past) one needed to edit leading / trailing blank pixels and sync polarity and interlace etc. But it always worked. If u ve got an important presentaion always findout the exact model of projector and save yourself a hassle. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
