My Toshiba notebook has the on-board LCD as monitor #1, and the driver for my external monitor is loaded as monitor #2 . If I use the external monitor without the correct driver, the picture jitters . When I had a Compaq it was very similar . The two are independant of each other, they have a dual output video adapter . If you have NEVER changed the external driver to match your screen (or the projector) then I suspect that is your problem . As Susan mentioned, the driver will limit your settings to that which the monitor can disply, its NOT the other way round where the adapter responds to the monitor . |
