Al salamo alikom one of my friends has a strange problem, he told me "but we faced a quite strange problem, we tried to use the data show to present our program but unfortuntaly the data show didn't detect the linux screen. the data show man told us that this was due to the linux resolution and that the maximum resolution for the data show is 800x600 we tried to minimize the resolution of linux and we did but there was no change .we don't know what to do now!!." i tried it more than time and it is working with me very well but i don't know what is the problem? can anyone help?
Thank you in advance
ctrl-alt +/-
Well you can try ctrl-alt +/- and change resolution of your screen
If there are smaller resolutions configured, they can be accessed by using ctrl-alt-minus . If not, then the lower resolutions will need to be added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
-I used to be indecisive .. but now I'm not so sure
XF86.conf
redhat9 is not using xorg.conf ,it's XF86.conf

doesn't matter
It doesn't matter unless he didn't know whether it's xorg.cong or XF86.conf
-I used to be indecisive .. but now I'm not so sure
again.
file /etc/X11/xorg.conf is not exist on redhat 9,it's /etc/X11/XF86.conf,
other words you should say edit /etc/X11/XF86.conf

wasting time
other words I should say edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
-I used to be indecisive .. but now I'm not so sure
redhat-config-xfree86
try on your linux box to run redhat-config-xfree86 as root and select 800x600 save,exit and press ctl+alt + backspace ,it will be 800x600

i will tell him to try and thank you friends for reply
start X with the projector connected
sometimes it helps to start X after the projector is connected.
logout and relogin and see if it helps.
or switch to console then switch back to X
