LCD projection in UBUNTU

[Amichai Rotman]

1) Just look for a blue graphic of a monitor (a rectangle) - that is the key
you have to press while holding the function (Fn) key.
2) make the cable connections while both projector and computer are off - to
prevent any damage to the devices - and then turn the projector on first,
and after it warm up - turn the laptop on.

That should do the trick.

Of course, you need to make sure the projector is set up to the right input
signal.

Good Luck!
