Hi,

I seem to have a good day, I just discovered another major missing feature:

As I said my monitor can do 1600x1200 this is wonderful, but not for 
presentaitons because unfortunately most projectors can only operate at 
1024x768 or lower. I can of course set the screen resolution lower but then 
x11 gives me a viewport in which I can scroll around. This is all fine but 
not if you want to make a presentation! Obviously the presentation should 
fill the whole screen!

After months where I could not do presentations with linux I finally found now 
the solution on this website: 
http://www.richard.neill.hemscott.net/a22p-mdk9-1.html

xrandr -s 1024x768 disables the &%!!%ç* viewport!!!

So you basically startup your presentations with:
'xrandr -s 1024x768; /usr/lib/openoffice/program/simpress ~/mytalk.sxi ; 
xrandr -s 1600x1200'

You need to change the numbers according to your monitor naturally...


bones (happy now)
