Using Projector on Ubuntu

Bismillah

Two days ago, my friend ask me to change his illegal windows that installed on his laptop to Ubuntu. But there is a problem, it's cannot connect to a projector. This is how to do it.

First, open the Xorg configuration file with your favorite text editor, it's located at:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

On the device section, add new device that define the external monitor port:

Section "Device"
### The name of identifier is free, but it's must consistent with the next configuration
Identifier "External Port"
Driver "i810"
Option "MonitorLayout" "TV,LFP"
Option "FlipPrimary" "True"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
Option "Clone" "True"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Then, on monitor section, add the new monitor. On this case, it's mean the projector configuration:

Section "Monitor"
### The name of identifier is free, but it's must consistent with the next configuration
Identifier "Projector"
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60
EndSection

Last, but not least. Connect the port configuration with the monitor/projector configuration. Put it under both section that we have add them.

Section "Screen"
### The name of identifier is free, but it's must consistent with the next configuration
Identifier "Projector View"
Device "External Port"
Monitor "Projector"
DefaultDepth 24

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

It's finish. Then, save the configuration. restart the XServer by pressing [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace] buttons.
