I slot in my DVD and it plays and shows on the screen but not on the
projector that I have borrowed. All other screen image shows but the

Any suggestions, I am supposed to run a movie tomorrow night :-(
This is because your video card is displaying hardware overlays on
only one output. I've only had experience with this on a laptop with a
SiS-based video card where I used the SiSCtrl utility to select the
display the video overlays would work on. I'm not sure how to do this
for other cards, but I guess there would be some utility or perhaps a
setting in xorg.conf.
Another workaround would be to try telling your media player to not
use the usual hardware-accelerated video display driver xv.
