Norman,

Most of the projectors I have worked with can simply be plugged into the computer the same as with a monitor. The only thing I have ever had to configure is sometimes the monitor section in xorg.conf, but that is usually not necessary. If possible try the projector before hand.

Regards,
John

I just want to use the projector for my presentation only this Thursday. Not for my daily usage.I want the projector to work as clone desktop.
