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>

At a guess, try pressing Fn+F4 or what ever the second display
enable is on your laptop.<br>
<br>
Did it work under Windows? If so double checking with a Live CD or
say Ubuntu. <br>
<br>
If the remote screen is on on boot, does the boot screen show on
the plasma....<br>

Ah, those ideas sound like something I can instantly try. It works
fine under WinXP but Toshiba provide a driver for that. It also
works under PCLOS/KDE4.6 although it flickers. I suspect I just need
to disable Compiz flashiness and it will be OK. But KDE is too big.<br>
<br>
