Resources at the Venue
Projector
The projector is a tricky bugger - these refresh rates have been found to work for 1024x768, but these days automatic detection is the "one true way":
HorizSync 30-48 VertRefresh 25-61
Be sure to only have only this Modes command
Modes "1024x768"
Nvidia
Note: These settings were for a desktop, not a laptop... YMMV
For an nvidia card with twinview (i.e. the nvidia proprietory driver), you can put this in your Device section:
Driver "nvidia" Option "NoLogo" "true" Option "TwinView" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone" Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-48" Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "25-61" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, CRT" Option "MetaModes" "1024x786,1024x768"
ATI fglrx
These settings were made up based on the settings above :-). Test and remove this message...
Driver "fglrx" Option "no_accel" "no" Option "no_dri" "no" Option "mtrr" "off" Option "Capabilities" "0x00008000" Option "DesktopSetup" "c" Option "IgnoreEDID" "off" Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
ATI radeon
Driver "radeon" Option "CRT2HSync" "30.0-48.0" Option "CRT2VRefresh" "25.0-61.0"
PC
If you don't have a laptop, there is a PC in the podium, running Windows XP, and with a crappy 800x600 LCD monitor.
Sound
There is an amplifier and speakers. A mini-jack lead is there to plug into your sound card.
Media
There is a DVD/VHS player.
Blackboards
There are two sets of double blackboards (on either side of the projection screen), and another set behind the (raisable) screen.
