2328.0. "HiNote VP Video Projection" by MILRAT::UGRINOW () Tue Mar 11 1997 15:34

We've tried to hook up 3 different HiNote VP's to a Proxima                    
 
Desktop Projector and are unable to synchronize the video.
However, they will all project to an external monitor at the
same time without a problem.

Tried to adjust the sync on the Proxima and it just wouldn't
lock in on the notebook video signal.  Have had no problems
with the older HiNote Ultra displaying out to the Proxima.
When checking the "Display Properties" I see a "tab" for
NeoMagic and noticed that the frequency is "frozen" at 60hz.
FYI: Looks like the driver is v4.03.2508 if I'm reading that
correctly.

Any ideas of what else to try??

Thanks,
--Nick

	What resolution and color depth are you using? I successfully used an LCD panel with the default 800x600x256 setting. The refresh rate shown in the Settings tab is irrelevant for the laptop LCD display. Steve

	Yes...The HiNote VP is set at 800x600x256. We had even tried changing the driver from NeoMagic to "Standard" and that didn't have any effect either. I've been noticing in several msgs about bios/video driver updates but I can't find url/ftp sites...the PCBU, CCS, MCS doesn't seem to have it. Thanks! --Nick

	re: MILRAT::UGRINOW Nick, Given that you can get an external monitor working, I think you should look for problems with the projection system. It may not supported the video frequencies. /Bill

	The BBS does have the 1.05 BIOS and the 5.08 video drivers - look under HiNote VP500. Steve
