Re: [gentoo-laptop] Projector on my laptop

["Andrew Randles" <ehud42@gmail.com>]

My quick suggestion is to try it out and see how it works.  If you get
nothing on the screen I would post back here with some more detailed
information (what information I am not sure).

If you do get something but it is blurry it might be because the
projector can't handle your resolution.  If this is the case check out
the command xrandr

Here the output from my computer,

$ xrandr
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1400 x 1050   ( 404mm x 303mm )  *50
 1   1280 x 1024   ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 2   1152 x 864    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 3   1024 x 768    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 4    800 x 600    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 5    640 x 480    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 6    640 x 400    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 7    640 x 350    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 8    512 x 384    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 9    400 x 300    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 10   320 x 240    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
 11   320 x 200    ( 404mm x 303mm )   50
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none

This is a  list of possible screen resolutions currently supported by
my X configuration.  For the projector you will probably want
something like 800x600 or 1024x768.  To select a different resolution
just do,

xrandr -s #

where # corresponds to the number of the line from xrandr.  In my case
I typically use xrandr  -s 3.

I hope this helps,
Andrew
