[opensuse] Notebook booting and LCD Projector
Hello all, I will be giving workshop on Opensuse Installation to a local LUG. We will use a LCD projector connected to my notebook. But, I understand that notebook cannot show it's display to the LCD Projector during boot and/or installation? If it's true, is there anyway we can workaround this problem? Thank you very much, PS: I'll translate the 16 pages of material to English if anyone wants it. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 7:49am up 0:19, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

My experience is that if the projector is plugged in while the laptop
boots, it will display fine but that is the only display you will
have. The laptop display will be black! If you can live with that,
there is no problem. Alternatively, if you must show the boot
process, boot it, take a coffee break and boot again then plug in the
projector.

Thank you Chuck and Mario for replying. I will try both methods tomorrow. My "target" notebook is Acer TM 802LCi. In the mean time, as a backup plan, I will connect the LCD on my another notebook, and from there doing a VNC install of Opensuse. At least I can show the installation screen. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 11:15pm up 2:17, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
