by lowering it) to always get it working.
Question is - how can i get FC5/KDE3.5 to automatically detect a
beamer and its resolution and project the proper screen to the
beamer? It is a bit embarassing at times i must say. What
packages must i update, if any? (sorry but i prefer KDE to GNOME,
in case GNOME works well, and i would much appreciate someone to
help me fix this using KDE!)
if you are using a nvidia card, and you have a speperate section
for your projector in it, try adding the following line to the
Display section
SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "nvidia-auto-select"
EndSubSection
This should tell the nvidia driver (version 8756 and above) to
autoselect the resolution.
hmm, i use the ATI RAdeon 9000
is it possible to do this with ATI ?
I'm afraid not. Maybe you can check the README of the radeon/fglrx
driver if there is such an option.
