I try to use a Sony VLP-A500 multimedia projector with my Inspiron 8000... but I meet some problem: if I connect a monitor after the projector, the projector receive the signal but if I connect only the projector, my computer dont recognize the projector... I use the Fn & F8 to swith but nothing happen. I tried every definition and frequence... If I go on the ATI control panel, the card dont recognize a monitor or a TV....

Why?

    It's been almost 4 years since this message, but I had exactly the same problem.  Suggestions?
     
    Background....
    I connected my Inspiron 9100 to a Dell projector...worked fine on the first try by using Fn+F8 to enable the display.  Later, I connected a monitor to the machine as a secondary desktop.  Again, the machine recognized it immediately.
     
    A few days later, I went back to use the projector, and there appears to be no signal present when i connect it up.  Thoughts / ideas / suggestions?
     
    FYI...configuration is....
    Inspiron 9100
    ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
     
    Interesting -- in Device Manager, I have 5 default monitors....should it be so?
