[NTLUG:Discuss] X Config for Overhead

[David Stokes]

Most laptops can are designed to either send video signal to the screen
OR (EXCLUSIVE OR) the VGA/SVGA video out.  Thinkpads and many others 
automatically figure this out while others need to have a function key
pressed. This can be challenging trying to figure out what the heck is
going on; People who do presentations for a living have this a
reoccuring nightmere.
