display manager and overhead projector

[Pedroski]

One more problem: using Fed 16, I simply plugged in the classroom overhead projector, and went to System settings>Displays, checked mirror displays, and I had it working.

In Fed 17, I can boot with the overhead plugged in, and I only have the overhead, the laptop screen is dead, or boot without it plugged in, and use the laptop normally. But I can't mirror screens. If I boot, then plug in the overhead, the laptop does not see it, I cannot check, mirror screens.

This is a Toshiba Satellite C600D with an ATI Radeon 6310 GPU.

Any tips out there?

Did you install the ATI proprietary drivers for Fedora 16?

They're not available yet for Fedora 17, because they're not compatible with the new X-Server.

You mean catalyst?? No I didn't use that, because it just caused problems.

Any further tips?

Do you guys think, if I install this it will work??

I really don't want everything to go pear-shaped again!
