Hi,

I'm unning Fedora 20, sorry I missed to put that in. Yes, my current laptop is also a MBP. Now, I did do a couple of reboots and tried both VGA and HDMI (mainly to make sure the projector's VGA port wasn't faulty, it is still connected to the display port on my laptop). I will look into the question of drivers. It seems to me that quite a few have had similar problems, also with PCs but you might be right that it is a Mac issue. I will check to see if I can figure it out.

Hi all,

I reaqlize that the info I'm giving here might be to little to give any
good suggestions, but I'm giving it a try nevertheless. I have a MBP with
the following graphics card:

VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M Mac
Edition] (rev a1)

I have no problem connecting to a second screen (VGA, Nouveau), but when I
connect to a projector (VGA) it doesn't show up at all. No, I don't have
the models of the two projectors I've tried with, but I did have the same
problem with my other computer and Fedora 15 (that time I was running
NVIDIA drivers).

Am I missing something obvious here? I wasn't clever enough to look at
Xorg.0.log yesterday when I tried the projector (I've been looking through
it now but I can't seem to find the right place), but I will next time and
perhaps I can provide better information.

Best,
/Henrik




What version of Fedora are you running?

On a PC, I just plug the projector in and it works in F18, F19 and F20.

Is the Other computer a MBP as well?

I wonder if there is some hardware issue that is being a pain if the monitor works and you unplug the monitor and then the projector and it doesn't without a reboot.  Something that is detecting the projector and blocking the port.

A quick scan of the web shows that this is also a problem for people using just macs.  You may need special drivers for the mac.
