Getting Projectors to Work in Ubuntu

Saturday, April 5, 2008 | Labels: | |

Believe it or not, I suck at X configurations. I really do. I don't have the time to study more about X so I took the easy way out.

1. Connect the projector to your laptop.

2. Do this in command line.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg


3. Just press Enter through every screen.

4. Restart X for the changes to take effect by pressing CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE.

5. Log in again as you always do.

6. And finally, the projector will automagically display your Ubuntu desktop and you can show off your desktop effects to your co-workers.

Okay, I am off for a quick shower.
