Hi,

I have an Acer Aspire 5002 WLMI laptop running gentoo.

I use my display on 1280x800 and i want to use a projector
to give a
speech and show slides and live coding. What do i have to
configure?
My xorg.conf? what do I have to change?

Best regards,

Your resolution. Few projectors go beyond 1024x768. Some
(older) ones won't go 
higher than 800x600. 

You might need to change a BIOS setting. Some laptops put
out both video 
signals simultaneously (built-in screen and external VGA).
With some of them, 
you have to tell your BIOS which one to use.

Hi,

I've asked similar question some time ago and the answer
(for me) is xrandr.

On the other hand if you want to *always* run a second
screen (projector, 
monitor, etc) with a different resolution you need to set it
in our xorg.conf 
by defining another screen in the appropriate sections. 
Have a look at the 
man pages and wiki:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Latitude_X1_Appe
ndices

and if that doesn't help I remember reading an xorg.conf in
google - but I am  
not sure of the link.

You did not mention you video card, so I hope this example
for VGA and SVIDEO output (multihead and standalone)
on i915/i810 chipsets helps.

This makes me curious - is it possible to switch between
using and not
using TV out or external monitor without restarting X and
switching .conf files?

It doesn´t have a s-video output, just the ordinary monitor
plug.
