[Ti] Ti-500 to LCD projector

If only your background was projected, it means that "mirroring" was 
off (look for the Arrange tab; there is a checkbox), so you had two 
desktops, the one on the projector being empty.

When you opened that movie you should have dragged it over to the 
other desktop. In the Arrange tab you can see whether that's left or 
right of you laptop screen; or just try it out.

Your tibook can handle projectors far better than wintel laptops (not 
to mention Linux, which is pathetic in that regard), but you have to 
know the tricks.
