Introduction
These instructions will teach you how to use a
Mitsubishi PK10 Pocket Projector
with
Ubuntu
Linux, using a video graphics array (VGA) connector cable. The majority of
Linux users have some technical skills and this tutorial is specifically designed for those
users, although it will include enough detail for novice users to get up and running as
well. It also assumes that you will be using the pocket projector for presentations that
require you to project your computer screen onto a pull-down screen or a white or
pastel-colored wall, and that you will be demonstrating technical work or presenting a
PowerPoint-style slide show. Finally, the computer or laptop that you use must have the
option to hook up a separate monitor to it with a VGA connector cable. To find out this
information, consult the owner's manual for your computer in order to check if this
option is available.
The instructions will show you how to adjust the settings in Ubuntu Linux so that the
projector will display exactly what is on the screen, in real time. For more general
instructions and to explore all of the features of the Mitsubishi PK10 Pocket Projector go
