It should not be directly related to system in any way. Googling around, I found that Xorg resolutions and modelines must be configured for projectors in the same way as with second monitors ie creating another display or screen layout in xorg.conf. But is should work out of box way if for example projector/monitor support current Xorg resolution. Also there are some problems (found by googling) with gdm and projectors in linux environment (no reasons why it should not happen in freebsd also). ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Failure to Project OOImpress
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. On 3/15/08, KAYVEN RIESE [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 15 Mar 2008, Paul B.

Re: Failure to Project OOImpress
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.
