Thanks,

Just for testing, I trying attaching a crt monitor to the video
output. Thank, i tried both methods (rebooting & using the cotrol
keys), but none worked. Rebooting, it just went into the regular
screen, nothing never appeared in the monitor. Then I tried the
function key, the monitor displayed a message saying something like
"Out of Sync" (I don't recall the exact message now), and the laptop
screen went blank. pressing the function keys once more, it went back
to the laptop screen (the crt went blank), but now it was twice the
size of a normal screen... only the let half appeared on the screen.
pressing CTRL+ALT+F7 brought the screen back to normal.

My question now is: should it have worked? or it will it be different
with a projector? (I won't have access to a projector untill
tomorrow.)

Thanks,
