Today I went to PSU on other business, but took my Thinkpad with Fedora 13 x86_64 with me. I wanted to see if I could get it to work with the projector in the room where we hold the general meetings.
Before doing so I had installed the latest nVidia proprietary driver, which comes with a GUI configuration tool. Using the GUI I was able to get the projector displaying my screen (which runs at 1680 x 1050), but the projector displayed only the top left 1024 x 768. That was with the "Twinview" setting. Using the "Use Separate X Screen" setting I got it to display my entire screen, albeit badly scrunched, but the screen on my laptop went black. Due to the nature of my upcoming presentation I need every pixel I can coax out of the projector. I have installed xrandr, but haven't figured it out yet. Google and the man pages await me. I understand that it does not work with the nVidia driver, so I'll have to go back to the nouveau driver. That is not a problem - I've been using the nouveau driver for ages without the slightest problem. I know there are people here who have used the projector in that room with their own computers. A couple questions for you: 1) Do you recall what resolution you got out of the projector? 2) How did you do it? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
