</div>If you look at the information for that cable you'd see....<br>
<br>
Note: PC Computer Laptop can't use the cable directly<br>
<br>
You can't hook this cable to the USB port of any system then plug the male RCA<br>
connectors to the female RCA connector and then plug the 3.5mm jack into your<br>
projector. The USB ports can't act as Video drivers....<br>
<br>
You need to tell people a few things....<br>
<br>
What is the make and model of your projector?<br>
<br>
What type of system is your Fedora system? Desktop/Laptop? What is the video HW?<br>
If a desktop, what type of video card? Does it have one or two connectors? Many<br>
have a VGA and DVI connector and are capable to drive dual monitors.<br>

<div><br></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/HrV0KV">http://bit.ly/HrV0KV</a></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/Hs3qS1">http://bit.ly/Hs3qS1</a></div><div><br></div><div>(Same as above)</div><div><br></div><div>So, Quick idea: As the USB port is not capable to stream video, I was wondering if</div>
<div>with this cable:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/I9GS7K">http://bit.ly/I9GS7K</a></div><div><br></div><div>Maybe it will be possible to connect the projector to the VGA port of the PC and then select</div>
<div>it as an output instead of the laptop screen resulting that in a projection from the computer </div><div>to the projector?? O.o, In a "Diagram" My idea is:</div><div><br></div><div>This to the projector: (As it only has AV IN port exactly for this cable):</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/HrV0KV">http://bit.ly/HrV0KV</a></div><div><br></div><div>Then This to that cable:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/I9GS7K">http://bit.ly/I9GS7K</a></div><div><br>
</div><div>And Finally the VGA end from that last cable to the VGA port of the Laptop, then maybe run the</div><div>command issued above:</div><div><br></div><div>"<span style>xrandr --output VGA"</span></div><div>
<span style><br></span></div><div><span style>And as far as I understand it should result in projection from the laptop computer to</span></div><div><span style>the projector as it were a VGA monitor right??</span></div>
