Is there an easy option for this? \setuppapersize[SM|SW] or a papersize with the the same width/height ratio as the projector. That won't go well. The projector is as stupid as it could be. It will honestly send what's shown on my laptop to the screen only stretch it to a special ratio. If I make a wide screen version. It will be a wide version on my laptop with the header and footer cut, I mean it won't fill my laptop screen. Then the projector will produce a wide version on a wide ratio. It'll be 256:100 rather than 16:10. Still not what I wanted. Can't you set the same resolution on your laptop as the projector has, the layout on your laptop is then deformed but the screen version is correct.

Well, that's a good idea. But actually, that's not really "my" laptop so I can't test it right now.

I hope the notebook is not too old (which I assume it can be) to support a wide screen resolution.

set your laptop at the desired (i.e. projector) resolution before connecting it to the beamer i.e. don't let the beamer try to be clever and talk to the laptop ... just letting the laptop lie to the beamer that it has a matching resolution is often safer; it is seldom a problem if the presentation on the your laptop screen is somewhat deformed ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
