    I have an m1330 laptop with the 8400m gs card. It will not display when connected to a projector or an external monitor. All I get is a black screen on the external display. I can see that the laptop can detect the external display and the display controls are easy to configure (nvidia panel or fn+F8), but nothing comes up on any monitor or projectors. I also noticed that when I switch back to laptop display the resolution 1280x7200 is lost to 1024x768. I have no clue what's going on. The video drivers look fine. Anyone seen something like this?
