External Display (projector) on a Pismo and resolution
Authored by: Paul Fons on Feb 13, '03 09:11:40PM

I connected my pismo to an external projector, all worked wonderfully. As I had time on my hands, I noticed that the displays control panel detected the name of the projector and offered me a choice of resolutions. I chose a higher resolution than my current one. The projector went black and said "out of range". I discovered rebooting didn't change things. I had to do my talk using video mirroring (not ideal). I discovered that /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver had a child entry that *might* be the cause of the recollection. I deleted the file. I haven't had an opportunity to connect to an external projector again, but I am hoping that this solved the resolution problem. Does anyone know more about this. Is there a more elegant way to go about doing this?
