[aklug] Re: Projectors and Secure Wifi

I've had the same problem in the past. I'm happy to report that Mirrored or dual-screen mode works with my ThinkPad T42 and Dell Inspiron.

I'm running Ubuntu and the GUI tool for screen resolution has a "Mirror Screens" option. It also has a "Detect Displays" button. I'm not sure if that works. In the past I had to connect the projector before I booted the system. If I didn't the system wouldn't switch to the projector. I'm not sure if that's necessary any more but I still do it.

What Laptop and Distribution combo are you using?

My problems with projectors hasn't been getting the projector to work, but
getting the laptop to pipe video to the VGA port in the first place instead
of or in addition to the LCD. Once I can get the laptop to function in
dual-screen mode, life is easy. The projector itself is no trouble at all at
that point.
