radeon driver/external projector

[Dirk Arnold <dirk@xxxxxxxxx>]

 I'm having trouble setting up my notebook to work with
an external projector.  The details are below.  Any help
would be very much appreciated.

 Thanks!
   Dirk


notebook: Dell Latitude D600
video card: Radeon Mobility M9
driver: radeon
internal resolution: 1400x1050
projector: Sharp Notevision
XF86Config: attached

Whether I use the CloneMode option or not doesn't seem
to make much of a difference.  The projector sometimes
comes up with nothing, sometimes with a small section of
the screen.  According to the projector, its input resolution
is most often 640x480, but I've also seen it believe it was
1280x1024.

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#	Option	"XkbModel"	"microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
# or:
#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
#	Option	"XkbVariant"	"nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#	Option	"XkbOptions"	"ctrl:swapcaps"
