[X4U] Force PB17" external projector/display to 1024x768.

[Robert Tillyard]

I'm using a VGA cable attached to the PowerBook's DVI-VGA adaptor, I 
can also use S-Video but don't have a cable with me at present.

The problem seems to be that I have no way of outputting  1024x768 if 
Display Preferences doesn't think the external screen supports it, the 
Projector is an old model (Philips Hopper SV10) and so probably doesn't 
support plug-n-pray options like many modern LCD's do.

Thanks, Regards, Rob.
