Reports of the death of the CFXGA card are mildly exaggerated. I just received one today, a few days after ordering from PC Success (in Japan), for ¥20,000 including delivery. It has simple plug-and-play compatibility (I have an 860 with stock Sharp ROM), the screen mirroring worked fine and I look forward to turning a few heads at scientific meetings. If anyone can tell me how to make the IR control turn pages in the pdf viewer I would be most grateful.
I have a question for the experts (well, anyone less amateur than me, which doesn't exactly narrow the field much).
The in-built presenter software can output at 1024*768, or something like that. However, the cfxgamirror code only goes to 800*600. Is there a fundamental road-block that makes the higher resolution unavailable?
On switching the mirroring on, then the presentation software, and then exiting the lattter, the screen remains at the larger size. However, it is offset with the RH edge wrapping round on the left (the edge is at the same place as for the 800*600 size). Maybe it is possible to take advantage off this? I suppose as a last resort I could convert a pdf file to individual pages of graphics and use the presentation software, but that would be rather tedious.
