I have done a number of searches and browsed the forum, but I haven't found a fix to my issue. Equipment:
- Dell 1525 Laptop with 1280x800 resolution screen.
- Projector with 1024x768 resolution.
On this same laptop, I was using F9 before I upgraded to F11. When I plugged into the projector, I would restart X and it would detect the external projector, adjust the screen size to 1024x768 (looked a little funny on the laptop screen, but looked perfect on the projector.)
Now with F11 logging out and restarting X, and even a cold reboot with the projector plugged in does not give me a screen that I can use on the projector.
- The Laptop continues to come up in 1280x800 even after plugging in projector and restarting X
- The projector is found in the Display dialogue, but however I don't like the desktop spread across the two screens. Also when I start a presentation, it seems to cut off the last 5th of the screen on the right, even if it is showing on the projector only.
What I need to work:
1. Basically, I need OpenOffice Impress to show up correctly on the projector screen. Where the presentation is sized to 1074x768, not 1280x800.
2. I would like "mirror screen" to work so that I have the same thing on my laptop screen as on the projector during the presentation.
Here are the results of some of the commands that I saw in other posts that might help:
Code:
$ xrandr -q

I hope I have given enough information.
