I recently used my laptop for a presentation. It runs Linux/SuSe 9.3 and the Windows emulation package Cross-Over. They attavhed a VGA projector and by operating the keys Fn-F5 I managed to have the slides displayed on both the laptor monitor and the big screen on the wall. I used MS PowerPoint to generate the slides so I used it also to project them. Wne I cliked on the button "Slide Show" the slide was displayed in full-screen mode on the laptop monitor where it kept its aspect ratio. On the big screen instead the slide image was chopped laterally as well as at the bottom. One of my seminar attendees adjusted the projector so as the wall image looked fine laterally but still had 1/3 chopped off at the bottom. We tried to play with different monitor resolutions but this did not solve the problem. Finally we decided to reduce the slide size on the laptop monitor by giving up the "slide Show" mode and set back Power-Point to the editing mode. This way the wall projected image was entirely visible but the projected image kept flickering (not the monitor image) which was bery disturbing for the audience to read ,,, I have no idea what cuased this problem, either Cross-Over or the projector or XP/MS Power Point ...who knows ... All what I can say is that I presented the same set of slides elsewhere by using someone slse's laptop running native Windows XP and did not have any problem whatsoever . Any idea about a workaround ... ??? I do not have a projector at home to reproduce the problem and try to find a solution. Thank you in advance for your help. Regards, Maura
