I want as much screen real estate as possible for my presentation. The projector will project 1400x1050 and can accept from my computer up to 1600x1200. Therefore, I want my laptop to do 1400x1050 or higher, in a 4:3 ratio. The nVidia driver offers me only 1680x1050, 1280x1050, or 1280x960, and lower resolutions. Thus, with the nVidia driver I can project 1680x1050, which will be distorted to the audience, or I can project 1280x960, which will not be distorted to the audience, but gives me less screen real estate than the projector is capable of. The nouveau driver gives me options of 1680x1050 or 1400x1050, and lesser resolutions. By setting my laptop to 1400x1050 I can project an undistorted 1400x1050 to the audience. My laptop will be slightly distorted, but I am looking at it right now and it is tolerable. After the presentation I can set my laptop back to 1680x1050. Actually, the nVidia driver is slightly faster than the nouveau driver so, after the presentation I will go back to it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
