ok thanks. I had heard of some people unable to use projectors with 
Linux (while it worked on Windows) so I thought it could depend on the 
OS. I had also read that we have to edit de X config file and add the 
configuration parameters for the external monitor/projector so I thought 
the X11 driver had something to do with it.
