I am nt able to connect any Projector with it. I even tried Wireless Display but all in vain. Is there anything like Linux doesn't support Projectors?

Projector problem with Linux Operating System

Hello,

Linux has full support for almost all devices. In rare case, it does problem with devices. In order to use your projector,

1. First of all, make sure that the connections are alright. Power cord, network cord and VGA cable should be connected properly.

2. Change the output to the projector via the Portable/Built-in switch, located on the control panel of the podium.

3. If no solution, try running the following command in Terminal.
xrandr –output VGA

Now, your projector should be working perfectly.
