[Wesley Stout <wesleystout@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wesley Stout has proposed merging lp:~wesleystout/openlp/documentation into lp:openlp.

Requested reviews:
  OpenLP Core (openlp-core)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~wesleystout/openlp/documentation/+merge/57606

Hopefully this will help some with the discussion StevanP had with a user trying to use a projector with a USB connection. StevanP and I both are going to do more research to see if there is a better answer and include that as we find it.

+**Special Note For Projectors Using USB Connections**
+
+We have experienced difficulties with users using a projector with a USB 
+connection. It seems that third party software many times is required to 
+properly setup dual monitors. When possible, it is best to use a direct output
+(VGA, DVI, HDMI, S-Video) from your machine's video card. If a USB connection
+is your only option please carefully read the manual from the manufacture on 
+proper setup.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The reason OpenLP usa greater amounts of RAM is because it does not load the
+presentation by itself. OpenLP uses PowerPoint or Impress to load the 
+presentation. Then OpenLP displays images of each slide. This results in the 
+higher than expected RAM usage.
