Introduction

These instructions will teach you how to use a Mitsubishi PK10 Pocket Projector with

Ubuntu Linux, using a video graphics array (VGA) connector cable. The majority of

Linux users have some technical skills and this tutorial is specifically designed for those

users, although it will include enough detail for novice users to get up and running as

well. It also assumes that you will be using the pocket projector for presentations that

require you to project your computer screen onto a pull-down screen or a white or

pastel-colored wall, and that you will be demonstrating technical work or presenting a

PowerPoint-style slide show. Finally, the computer or laptop that you use must have the

option to hook up a separate monitor to it with a VGA connector cable. To find out this

information, consult the owner’s manual for your computer in order to check if this

option is available.

The instructions will show you how to adjust the settings in Ubuntu Linux so that the

projector will display exactly what is on the screen, in real time. For more general

instructions and to explore all of the features of the Mitsubishi PK10 Pocket Projector go
