Hi, I have a Thinkpad T42 running dual-boot opensuse 10.3 and win xp. When I boot unter xp, I have no problems with connecting an lcd projector to the auxiliary monitor interface and getting a good image. When I boot under linux with the projector already connected, there is no problem either. But when I boot under linux without the projector connected and then connect it later while the machine is already running, I get a strangely oscillating display on the projector as if the frequency is not correctly adjusted.
Has anyone seen the same or any suggestions for a solution?
The graphics card is an ati radeon 7500.
Just a thought, some projectors have problems doing higher resolutions than 1024X768. Is the resolution different on the laptop when it boots with the projector connected versus not?
Hi, - I know of the problem, has had to deal with it numerous times. FYI it's not a SuSE problem, this weekend I was doing a RHEL5 show. Got the exact problem you describe. I solve it this way. I fire up my TP w/o projector, makes sure the display resolution is what I want and one the projector will accept. I save my xorg.conf I reboot, (cold) this time with the projector attached. A strange display with al sorts of errors/stribes and what have we will come up. I shell out (ctrl+alt+f1) and fix med xorg.conf driver. Go back to my messed up display, kills X (crtl+esc+backspace) and relog in.
