An AppleScript to detect displays when operating blind
Authored by: MattHaffner on Jan 15, '04 03:43:28PM

Yes, really, there are several more elegant ways to extract yourself here. The F7 one is the best.

But even if you didn't remember that, the forced restart was overkill. Next time just put your machine to sleep and wake it up without the projector. Step-by-step: pull your power cord and close the lid to make it go to sleep. Unplug the projector cable, re-open, set resolution, sleep, re-connect cords, get on with your talk!

I believe that my TiBook (867MHz) re-detects displays after wake-up. So just close the lid, take out the projector and the open the lid again.
Perhaps this is model-specific and it will not work on your book...

The machine would not sleep when the lid was closed. I might be a little dumb, but not that dumb. It was one of the first things I tried.
