I have had an Infocus Screenplay 5000 for a few weeks now, and its a
great projector. After first getting it and the 30 ft DVI cable I
bought for it, I hooked it straight up to my graphics card and after a
few hours of tweaking xorg.conf I got it working nicely. However,I
ended up migrating to Sabayon (a Gentoo based distro). I saved my
orignal xorg.conf file from ubuntu. After installing, I switched out
the xorg.conf, but still the projector displays the default image. I'v
been at it for days and still can't get it working. Here is my
xorg.conf:

The only thing I have added is the VertRefresh 60.0 option, as I read
alot of projectors are touchy about refresh rates. Obviously, it
didn't help. Graphics card is a Quadro4 980 XGL. 30ft DVI from
computer to a DVI to M1 adaptor on the projector. Projector EDID
appears in logs, so cable must be good.
(Also, even though the modlines & mode says 1024x768, when I orginally
set it up, the computer automaticly uped the output resolution to
1280x720. I never bothered to change it. Strangly enough, removing the
modlines would NOT allow the projector to display at all. Never got
around to trying 1280 modelines.)
Like I have said, I'v been at it for days, and its KILLING me not
having my 720p projector. PLEASE HELP!
