[CS-FSLUG] Connecting Kubuntu to a Projector

[dcolburn at bibleseven.com]

Should be the same as using an external monitor.

In Puppy I go to Menu - Setup - Laptop Tool - Screen - Change Resolution

Then I select the monitor & adjust the settings.

I can turn off the laptop display there.

I also found that I needed to manually set the window sizes for the external
monitor - then they were remembered the next time.

HTH ...
