I eventually got the external projector (and external monitors in general) working by doing the following... apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-xconfig nvidia-xconfig Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (to restart X) voila! External displays are now working. Only one monitor works at a time, but its better than nothing. I'm just happy it works! Now I can work on TwinView to get both the laptop LCD and the projector displaying at the same time. I did notice that the new xorg.conf now lists the driver as "nvidia" instead of "nv". The sync and refresh rates look the same as I had before. Thanks for your pointer. Regards, Andrew
