Can I show a higher resolution on my laptop screen than on a connected (VGA) projector?

Can I show a higher resolution on my laptop screen than on a connected (VGA) projector?

The projector is only 800 by 600 which screws up my desktop each time I project.

Additionally - if I use a remote desktop client for windows, the change in resolution makes the projection in windows unreadble.

Anything I can do?

Many thanks - Mike

Try running the external display "extended" as opposed to "mirrored". "Mirrored" matches screen resolutions.
