Hello, Everyone I am attempting to get an Optoma EP 750 projector operating with Fedora Core 6. The video card that I am using is the following: GeForce4 MX 440
lspci -v says the following about this card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=512K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at d8080000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [44] AGP version 2.0
I do not want to do anything fancy with this intended setup. All that I want to do is use Lyricue (http://lds.sourceforge.net/) to display Bible verses and Praise & Worship songs on our Optoma EP 750 projector. To clarify, this is how we have it set up right now under Windows XP: Using Creative Lifestyles Presentation Manager program, I select songs or Bible verses on the 15" LCD monitor that I am sitting in front of right now. Then, whatever I select in Presentation Manager is diaplayed, at the same time, by the projector, on the screen at the front of the Sanctuary. This is how it currently works on Windows XP.
I have Fedora Core 6 dual booting with Windows XP. So the only difference between what we have Been doing and what I Want to do is that I Want to do this with Fedora Core 6. Same PC, same projector, same video card.
I assume that this won't be too difficult to achieve, since the Projector does display the Fedora Core 6 boot up messages on the screen. The problem comes when Xorg starts up. If I type "Ctrl | Alt | F1" the Projector displays the FC6 (Console) login prompt. It even shows me logging in and ssh'ing into my home computer. As an experiment, I updated Lame from CVS. Displayed perfectly on the Projector. Experiments I tried with editing files with vi and emacs displayed perfectly on the the Projector. The only problem appears to be when the X server is running.
I am not a newbie with MOST Linux related subjects. But I am a total newbie on this :) So all help that you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Have a Great Day/Night, Steven P. Ulrick

Hello, Again I have got this Mostly figured out. But I cannot remember the error that I get when I attempt to start Lyricue_server. Something about "cannot initialize gtk2-perl bindings" But I think that that might be a Lyricue specific issue. Nonetheless, if I need your able assistance, you will be hearing from me :)
