I tried both 1024x768 and 800x600 but neither works. I get alternating color
and white vertical bars in the output. Sometimes it changes to blinking
colored rectangular areas.
Interestingly, I booted from a Backtrack 2 live CD and started X, and it
works no problem. I check the xorg.conf and it lists a HorizSync 31.5 - 150
and a VertRefresh 75 - 85. So, I then tried those values on Debian, but it
still doesn't work.
I also double-checked the projector model, and I had a typo. It's a Sony
VPL-PX41. The specs on it are:
Portable TFT Active Matrix LCD Projector
Resolution Native: XGA (1024 x 768)
Compressed: UXGA (1600 x 1200)
Horizontal Scan Rate: 19 - 92 kHz
Vertical Scan Rate: 48 - 92 Hz
I also tried the Debian system with a Dell E173FPB LCD monitor with the same
results; works fine until X is started; works fine with Backtrack 2 CD.
... frustrating.

I don't use Debian, so apologies for not knowing this: does Etch have
X.org now? If so, you could try renaming xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup
(essentially, you're removing xorg.conf). Without an xorg.conf file,
X.org will attempt to autoconfigure itself. It'll choose non-nVidia
drivers when it does this, but it might get you further along.<br>
