Fedora 10, xrandr and inFocus projector

Hi guys,
I'm a new user to the list with, what else, a sticky problem. I have a
dual boot MacBook Pro (2.33Ghz Core 2 Duo) that runs both Leopard and
Fedora 10, x86-64 using ReFit as the boot loader. I am trying to connect
an InFocus projector to the DVI output of the Mac while running under Fedora.
The InFocus is connected this way:
MacBook external DVI output > DVI-VGA dongle > VGA - M1-DA cable > InFocus
M1-DA connector
Unfortunately, the problem is that though xrandr sees the DVI-0 port as
connected, the InFocus doesn't get the signal or spring to life through
the setup listed above.
I've verified that the DVI-0 output works with a regular DVI cable
connected to the DVI input on my Dell LCD panel. So this means a
digital signal is being output from the port. Now, I've also verified
that the DVI-0 output from Fedora does NOT work with the DVI-VGA dongle
connected to the VGA input on the Dell. When connected with the DVI-VGA
setup listed above, xrandr sees that the InFocus is connected (shown
below). Also, Gnome sees the InFocus in the connected displays.
On the flipside, I've verified that the InFocus projector works
using the DVI-VGA cable setup when booted from the Mac OS. So that's
odd.
Since I can see the output while connected to the Dell's DVI input, I
don't think this is a configuration issue. But maybe Fedora just doesn't
like the DVI-VGA dongle. I'm sure I could buy an M1-DA direct to DVI
adapter and be done with it, but I'd rather save the $55 and figure out
why the Mac sees the Infocus, but why Fedora has troubles.
Here is the output of xrandr:
