Connecting Projector to laptop
 
Hi all,

I am not able connect projector(beamer) to my laptop. My laptop is Dell Inspiron. When I connect a projector to my laptop I have to following things to get the projector working :
1. Restart my laptop (that results in closing all my programs and applications)
2. Start a new X server by logging into different user

So, is there any other way wherein I can connect the projector without restarting my laptop or starting a new X server. I think theres a way in which you edit the xorg.conf file. Can anybody pls tell the changes to be done in this file OR pls specify any other way.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

The Fn+F4 key is not working on my laptop...............

Are we supposed to make any changes in the xorg.conf????

No I do not thing so. If you are using Dell the key combination could be Fn + F8.
