Mirroring displays from wide screen laptops?

by AES <siegman@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 28, 2008 at 04:12 PM

What's the drill for getting optimal mirroring of a MacBook Pro 17" 
running Leopard to a few year old projector which I'm pretty sure is 
either VGA or XGA?  Projector is thus 4:3 aspect ratio, while MacBook is 
16:9 (or something like that)

If Mirroring is turned on in the Monitor prefs panel, it seems to 
function OK; projected images have the correct aspect ratio and look OK 
on the projector screen; but the images seen on the MacBook Pro screen 
are evidently stretched to fill the full screen width, and thus becomes 
visibly distorted.

Turning Mirroring off brings up a whole bunch of new resolutions to 
choose from, including some labeled  N X M and N X M (stretched) with 
the same N and M values; but I don't seem to be able to drag either 
window on top of the other in the Arrangements tab.

Any way to make the MacBook screen mirror the projector screen, i.e. 
display using the projector aspect ratio, leaving black bars at the side?
