Hi, I just recently upgraded from Thinkpad T30 to a Thinkpad T42 running FC4. I need to be able to connect a projector to the computer for presentations and so far I have not being to do so. Does anyone know what the proper xorg.conf settings to allow a projector to work with the T42?
On my T41 (Radeon Mobility 7500), it Just Works (modulo some display quality issues you can find in another recent thread). In fact, the default is for both panel and VGA to be live, and there is no convenient way to make F7 toggle them. (But see the radeontool command in pm-utils.)
Which screen/video card do you have? Which video driver are you using. What are your actual symptoms? Does it work as expected in Windows (if you have it)? What if you boot with the projector attached? Does radeontool help?
