The projector is saying no input.

The projector uses a DSUB (VGA monitor) connection.

The laptop uses an intel chipset rather than an ATI or nvidia mobile card. I thought that it automatically detected when a monitor/projector was connected & switched to the external display, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

some laptops have a function key to switch between displays, but they can't find anything that looks like it might do that.

467464 2006-07-01 07:38:00 Ok. it was a 2 second job once I was actually in front of the computer. I'll have to get the function key set up for them though - what I found ridiculously easy was far too complicated for them.

Its probably just a small app that always rund in the background that enables the use of the function key. I'll check out the VIAO website to see if I can find it.
