I seem to recall I just had to play with xrandr to get an external
monitor to work on my dell while my old Toshiba laptop used to need the
function-f3 or f4 key pressing, but its not something i've done recently
enough to remember the exact procedure for either.

Dont hold me for this: but I remmeber that I read somewhere that if
projector is connected before Xorg starts available resolutions to
projector would be limited.
So best is to disconnect and connect it again when Xorg is already running.
Beware: I dont have experience with projectors with Xorg, only with
seconds monitors but that is different story.
I hope that there are somebody over there with more experience with
projectors than me.

I think we connected prior. Should we have? I had my
computer turned off, and I booted it up. The projector
was on during boot. I thought the boot process would
take care of it but it didn't.

Couldn't connect to projector for presentation.
I was supposed to give a class presentation and we tried to hook
my computer into the 15 pin female joint (sorry I forget what it is
called three rows of 5 pins each on the computer, hooking to 15 pins
on the wire) that I guess is usually a monitor connector. The professor
kept saying "hit function-f8" but that didn't go.
I am running gnome on freeBSD

He said it was all about BIOS, but we were trying to hit func-f8 during
gnome running, so I thought
I would get a second opinion.
