Does anyone have experience with running openoffice on SUSE10 on a beamer? I'm writing a presentation, and it occured to me that I won't have an opportunity to do a trial-run with the beamer - which is where things would often go belly up with Windows (when switching the laptop displays to the external video-output). I'm guessing it's really more of an X issue than anything specific to SUSE or openoffice, but I'd still appreciate all hints and advice.

I have done that quite often with SuSE 9.3 and it always worked out of the box even simulatneous display on the laptop and the beamer. Just connect the beamer appropriately and there you go. I'm quite sure SuSE 10 does not make the difference.

Just make sure the the device can handle the resolution you have your desktop set to or else you will have problems with an out of range error.

Yes, sure. My laptop supports 1024x768 only, a resolution most beamers support. Just forgot to mention that. \Steve -- Steve Graegert | Blog http://tikomi.org Software Consultant {C/C++ && Java && .NET} Office: +49 9131 7123988 Mobile: +49 1520 9289212

In a nutshell: Start sax2, go into monitor, configure multihead mode and enable a second monitor to cloned. You can then use krandrtray to switch the resolution to 1024x768.

We failed to locate a multihead mode on the sax2 display for OpenSuse last Friday evening. A new user was forced to drop back from his 10.0 install to 9.3 as he was not comfortable going home to different monitors and needing to edit the X-config file. I believe there was discussion of this on the suse-xfree86 list.

Btw. there's a page on opensuse.org on this,

My son uses SuperSuse exclusively. I like what I see, but won't upgrade my dual-screen CAD workstation until there will be time hand editing config files :-(
