I'm getting nothing. When the system is booted on the 3400c the blue screen of the digitial projector comes on and I see the hour glass icon. Then the screen flickers and in the upper right corner the message no input appears. I go to the monitors control panel and there is one icon. It is set to the recommended setting resolution. I can't get to any video output settings or control..............
As your email specifies, I have no problem when hooked up to a vga monitor as your instructions imply. But I get nothing through the laptop.
