Do you know the projector works?<br>
<br>
Does the projector have a multiple inputs, and have you selected the<br>
right input?<br>

Are you using VGA? DVI? HDMI?<br>

Have you tried the projector from a desktop PC that doesnt need to<br>
switch outputs?<br>

The folks around me are using Macs and they have a VGA->whatevermac converter and it just works.<br>
<br>
So we're using the right wire, and we know the projector works.  I'm plugging in straight VGA.<br>
<br>
My machine has one of those crazy dell uber media ports, is it possible it's not using my VGA port at all?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

I'm running 0.16 and I'd like to plug into a projector and... project.<br>

What's 0.16?<br>

<br>
Sorry, I just posted to the Enlightenment IRC channel before this and forgot<br>
the context.  Enlightenment 0.16.<br>

I have a Dell E6400 laptop, and it has a little meta key to switch to<br>
External, but nothing happens when I push it while plugged into the<br>
projector.<br>
<br>
I've just told you everything I know about making this work, any idea<br>
where<br>
I would look for instructions?<br>
