Getting past Display-Projector compatibility problems at events!

If you had been in my shoes today, you would have loved this idea – which just struck me!

My ATI display had a compatibility problem with the projector in room 407 @ GNUnify & I had to resort to using the laptops available with the organizers – which had a series of problems! How to get past such a thing if it happens again?

Very simple!

Start vino-prefrences on your laptop

Run organizer’s laptop with the projector

Use vncviewer to connect back to your machine for a full-screen display!

Voila! You’ll have your own desktop in seconds! – thanks to a cross cable or WiFi :)

But whatever problems or not, the organizers & about 97 student staff (as I was told) did an awesome job on the day one. Never was I left alone – a volunteer was always in touch with me, be it for breakfast, my badge, a copy of schedule, setting upt the laptop or anything!

Great job guys!
