I have a Dell Vostro A860, running Ubuntu Karmic with Intel Mobile
GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. I want to use my laptop for
projecting my presentations etc through an LCD projector. However I
could not configure the projector using display settings in panel. I use
 the Fn+F8 key after connecting the projector but there is no display in
the projector though my laptop monitor resolution changes. How to fix
this? 
This is the output on running xrandr: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200,
current 1360 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192

> This is really frustrating because i wanted to show some presentations
and also publisize Ubuntu. Otherwise I am forced to use windows and MS
office in the office computers and covert my Open office to .ppt
thanks in advance
