Hello,

I am afraid I cannot give much information, because it happened to me some weeks ago with a projector whose brand I do not know. On Monday I have to give another presentation which embedded videos, so *it is not portable to the computer they will have there with Windows*. OK, I could have asked Brice independently :-) instead of submitting a bug, but I am submitting the bug just in case it is a real bug and not my fault. If it is not a real bug, please forgive me and close the bug.

I use Debian sid with KDE, and the display is "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)".

When I plugged the projector and rebooted, the GRUB and boot video output was directed to the projector, but as soon as kdm started the video output was in the computer screen and not in the projector. Pressing Fn + F5  did nothing.

Sorry if it is my fault and not a bug, and hope it helps in case it is a bug.

Thank you,

David

Ok, I marking the bug as fixed in 2.7.1 then.

When you boot with a projector plugged, the W server tries to find a
mode that's supported by both the projector and the internal laptop
panel. So it probably finds a 4/3 mode while the panel is 16/10. In this
case, by default, the intel driver keeps the display ratio and uses
black stripes on the sides (and it should be configurable with xrandr
properties, no need to reboot).
