I never used a beamer with my laptop & FC5 but when it had FC4 I had to use ¨Depth 16¨ in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. OT: don´t remember where I read it but there was someone who had succeeded in configuring his normal X session under for example alt-f7 and a beamer session under for example alt-f8. This way he could make changes in his presentation on his ¨normal¨ screen and show the updated version on the beamer screen. Sounded pretty useful to me. Regards, Patrick
