	I think that you can use LaTeX, generating a pdf file and then
	playing the pdf for your audience with xpdf. Using LaTeX is
	the best approach if your subject is Math-oriented and you
	need a good amount of formulas.

	I described the procedure I used for my Master's Qualification
	at <http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/latex/>, but it is in
	Portuguese (my native language). I see that you are French.
	Perhaps you could guess what I say there, taking the command
	lines as cue points. :-)

	You can see my presentation at
	<http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/docs/apres.pdf> as an example
	of the result. The sources of the presentation are here:
	<http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/latex/apres.tar.gz>.

	Unfortunately, I don't know if xpdf can currently take care of
	transitions (i.e., pauses in your document).

	In the worst possible situation, you could use your pdf inside
	MacOS with Acrobat Reader (which is able to do the transitions
	smoothly).

> Will I be able to do it without xinerama ?

	Yes.


	Hope this helps, Roger...
