[wplug] Anyone familiar with a commercial X server from Xi Graphic

[Ghataora, Hardeep]

Does tapping Control and Alt and Number pad plus help simultaniously
help over come this?

Sorry, should have been more specific about machine and issue:

This is the Thinkpad X31 I've been working on lately. The chipset is: 
ATI M6-C16h with 16Mb VRAM  (Video12.1" XGA(1024x768) TFT color)

The issue is that when connected to a projector (Proxima, pro 
projectors here on CMU campus) when already booted AND the projector 
has been running in 1024x768 (perhaps after a Win presentation?) all is 
well... it mirrors the display correctly in 1024.

If the X31 (running Red Hat 9) is rebooted, or connected to the 
projector first then booted the projector defaults to 800x600 (highly 
annoying as the projector SHOULD default to 1024 -- go figure). Nothing 
short of hooking up a Windows (blech) notebook to the projector will 
get the Proxima back to 1024.

I've now found two other people who have experienced this under Linux 
but, I'm waiting for their replies as to what flavor they are using.
