Vision gets cut when connecting to Projector

[Priyadarsan Roy]

Hi,

I have a HP nx7010 laptop. It has a wide screen display. I had a 
presentation next week and I was checking how my laptop works when 
connected to a Projector. I get the display from the projector as soon 
as I connect the cable, but the problem is, around one inch of my left 
side of the screen gets cut and only the rest is showed. In effect the 
projector output cuts my wide screen.  To confirm this I also tried 
connecting the output to a CRT monitor. The result is the same. Has 
other wide screen laptop users come across a problem like this. I have 
Kubuntu Hoary installed on my laptop. Every thing else works excellent 
on my laptop(internal modem, Ethernet, wireless, bluetooth( I used 
another repo to grab some kde utils for this), PCMCIA) .

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like this
