I didn't use a video projector for that particular test I mentioned in my review, just an external monitor. The resolution for my screen did adjust a little, so that I couldn't see all of the screen in my laptop, but I could see all of it in the monitor. Later I tried to do the same trick with Debian, after I wiped Ubuntu. The results were similar, except that the CRT/LCD key no longer worked, and if I wanted the projector to see my laptop, I had to restart X. If I started X with the projector connected, the resolution adapts to the projector, not the monitor. By the way, I think "beamer" is a German term. I have never heard it used by English speakers. Wikipedia calls it a pseudo-anglicism. The only reason I know what "beamer" means is because I was curious why the LaTeX beamer package was called like that. :-) > This now is working fine, I get a clone of the LFP over beamer.

I could play video fine on the projector. The only annoyances were resolution not matching properly between laptop screen and projector. I am sorry I cannot help you more. - Jordi G.
