I've had some interesting issues in my presentations over the years on my HP laptops. Adrian's advice, to reboot is one case I sometimes use when I plug the laptop into the video and I can't switch screens. However some projectors have a lower resolution. First, check the frequency. I've found that 60Hz tends to work with most overheads. Another issue is the resolution. On older overheads, I've had to set it to 800x600 :-(, but most that I have used recently work at 1024x768 or 1280x1024. You may need to experiment: 1. Make sure your laptop is attached and reboot. You want to see if the screen is displaying the text during the boot. If it is not, there could be a problem with the overhead or a hardware problem with the Toshiba. 2. When it transitions to graphics mode, you will see what appears to be a blank screen until the session manager screen shows up. If you are able to see the session manager you are ok, if not, check your resolution, and lower it.I've been asked to give a presentation for which I have made an impress file. However, I'm running my Toshiba Equium laptop under Linux (Ubuntu) and it doesn't respond to the switch video output keys so I get a blank screen from the projector. Anyone know how I can pursuade it to do this?
