Alex hello.

The XF86Config I use is the one at the start of this thread.

To put it simply:

When I use the xinerama server layout the projector shows nice

When I use the mergedfb no matter what I do the projector looks unsynced

The screen, monitor and device are the same in both cases.

The two serverlayouts are as follows:

Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier      "single"
         Screen          "IBM T40 LCD Screen"
         InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
         InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"
         InputDevice     "Generic Mouse"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier      "xinerama"
         Screen          0 "IBM T40 LCD Screen" 0 0
         Screen          1 "IBM T40 external Screen" RightOf "IBM T40 
LCD Screen"        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
         InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"
         Option          "Xinerama" "On"
EndSection

thank you and to all the list
Bob

PS In the following lines please note that the external screen 
vertrefresh is what I read from Xfree log ... I tried pinning both this 
and the internal screen to 50, then 60 Hz and to 1024x768 but without 
any visible change

PPS I will be away starting from now, traveling, for 10 days. Read you 
when I return.
