You did correctly connect the projector before starting the machine. On most laptops you'll find a "CRT/LCD" key (usually among the PF keys on top) you need to press with the "Fn" key. This will cycle through three modes: LCD only -> LCD and CRT -> CRT only. Press this once or twice, and you should get output on the projector. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
