Afternoon all,<br>
<br>
I've junked WinXP on my old Tosh Satellite laptop and replaced it with Linux. I tried a few lightweight versions but eventually settled on LXDF from PCLinuxOS, mainly because it keeps all the simple tools I'm used to with PCLOS KDE 4.6.<br>
<br>
Everything works very nippily; even my Belkin PCMCIA wireless network card under ndiswrapper.<br>
<br>
The only thing that doesn't work is the second monitor which should be available via a D-9 socket on the back. There is an option in PCLOS-Control Centre/Configure Video Card/Options/Enable Duplicate Display on Duplicate Monitor. I've reset that but still nothing visible when I plug in a plasma screen with a D-9 plug, even after a re-boot.<br>
<br>
I want to take this laptop to a symposium and use it to display Impress (and Pwrpnt!) presentations via a plasma screen available in the auditorium.<br>
<br>
Anyone any idea how that might be achieved? Is there some tweak or drive I might try that isn't obvious to my ageing faculties?<br>
<br>
Just thought I'd ask.<br>
