Firstly, call me Keith lol I know for a fact that Knoppix works with projectors, I've used it in presentations with infocus and HP projectors at 1024*768. Official ATI driver site: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27 I hear a lot of users complaining about ATI drivers though. The link works for me... Would you like me to send it as an attachment to your address? Rgds, Keith Jean Azzopardi wrote: > Thanks, Mr Vassalo.
