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,

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.
