Did a talk about mmh at ChaosSeminar of CCC Ulm.  [0] The project
is not even released, although I hope to do so soon.

IMO the talk was very well,  except  a  little  to  much  history
somewhen  in  the middle. I did receive good feedback afterwards.
Great!


The hour before I started was quite busy because I  had  problems
to get the video projector working. My recent X upgrade seemed to
have broken something. The  use  of  xrandr(1)  had  always  felt
strange  to  me (the same for iwconfig(8)). Why would you want to
incrementally adjust the settings and not have  a  single  config
file  to  set everything absolute? However, I was able to get the
projector working (reproducible) with the following commands:

     xrandr --auto
     xrandr -s 800x600
     xrandr --output LVDS1 -s 1400x1050 -r 60 --auto
     xrandr --output VGA1 -s 800x600 -r 60
     xrandr --output VGA1 -s 1024x768 -r 60 --scale 1.367x1.367 --auto

For me that's just black magic.
