I have a machine running Mythtv on Fedora Core 4 hooked to a Dell 2300 projector. I just plug the video cable in and it works without any tinkering. I have it set to 7 feet wide by 5 feet high to use as a big screen tv. I set my mode to 1024x768 60hz. I haven't tried my laptop into it to simultaneous displays though. -- -=/>Thom
