[Wesley Stout <wesleystout@xxxxxxxxx>]

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

Requested reviews:
  Tim Bentley (trb143)
  Raoul Snyman (raoul-snyman)

For more details, see:

This should add some info for a situation StevanP addressed with an user concerning a projector with a usb connection. We are looking for better info and will include it as we find it. Also added a link to the dual monitors section from the trouble shooting. And also included a note in the trouble shooting about high ram usage and power point. Apologies for my quick delete of my last merge proposal, fat fingers took me in the wrong direction.

+**Special Note For Projectors Using USB Connections**
+
+Users have reported experiencing difficulties when using a projector with a USB
+connection. It seems that third party software many times is required to 
+properly setup dual monitors. If possible, it is best to use a direct output
+(VGA, DVI, HDMI, S-Video) from your machine's video card. f a USB connection is
+your only option please consult the manufacturer's manual for instructions on a
+proper setup.

+I am using high amounts of RAM when showing PowerPoint or Impress slides
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The reason OpenLP uses 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.

+OpenLP is not displaying correctly, or is not on the correct screen

+Please read the documentation on :ref:`dualmonitors`. It is very important to 
+have dual monitors setup properly for OpenLP to function as expected.
