[indiana-discuss] 101a graphics bug on Tecra M2

[Jarrett Lu]

Gilles,

I just tried your suggestion on a Panasonic projector. After I clicked 
Detect Displays,
the projector blinked once and went back to the "No Signal Input" state. 
No second
display was found (by the NVIDIA X Server Settings GUI). Can't select 
TwinView.
If someone could tell me what chipset and graphic card I'm using, maybe 
I can
download an older version of driver and see if that works better. I need 
to know
how far I should go back.

Thanks for trying to help.

Jarrett
