If your projector supports all those modes there is a very large 
probability that the reason you cannot get a picture is due to the way 
you have the projector set up or a defective projector. I cannot access 
the earliest posts on this issue due to a computer crash so I cannot 
tell if you have tried connecting a windows pc to your VGA input and 
verified that the projector is working. I would not be surprised if your 
brand new toy is defective. No manufacturer does any verification of 
correct function beyond the board level when building these devices and 
you have to remember they are using $0.25/hour labor in a least cost 
country to do the work. I guess what I am saying is go back and verify 
the thing works. Getting a working modeline is not that hard. 640x480 
should be automatic for every output of your video card. Also verify 
that your video card works with a standard monitor.   Even if you have 
to go buy one, make the test and return it for a refund. (You didn't 
hear me say that) :-)

PS - Your standard monitor should have a setup mode that will tell you 
exactly what resolution and refresh rate you are running.

Good luck,
Bill
