Hmmm...I couldn't get that to work. Nice thought though! :-)

Okay, if someone has a better solution, I'd love to hear it, but here is
what I did...
I had to give a presentation using an LCD projector, and I wanted to
show
a demo from the YD partition. When I plugged the projector in, I
couldn't
get linux to spit video out the back. So, rebooted into the Mac (this
may
be possible using MOL, but I haven't tried since I got MOL working...)
partition. I set my monitor so that I had both the monitor and the LCD
projector both up (mirrored). I then switched to the YD side, restarted
the projector and bang I had video coming out of the projector and on my
screen.
Now, this was video mirroring, I haven't tried any other setup. I wish I
knew something that didn't involve switching between OS's, but it at
least
worked. If someone has a better (and perhaps more correct way) I'd love
to
hear it. I couldn't find anything online, and no one has ever answered
any
questions I posted about it...
