Hi Vincenzo,

Thanks for getting back to me - and sorry to have not replied sooner!

You may have noticed that there is a new Xrandr GUI, which can prove helpful in setting up projectors and secondary (cloned) monitors. I've been testing projector support on -intel the past month or two, and while there are still some glitches, it more or less works. I'd be very interested in hearing your findings of it.

I've also been pumping in a ton of bug fix patches to -intel, and while the issues you describe don't sound identical to ones we've addressed, it's possible yours got fixed in the process. So re-testing would be a big help.

Some of the test data that is worth attaching to this report would be your Xorg.0.log, the output of `xrandr`, and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. A photo of the screen showing "garbling" can also be helpful - some of the screen corruption modes will be immediately recognizable by sight, but prove difficult to describe in words. What I've done in testing is just cycle through all listed resolutions and note down particular ones that have problems.
