C. How to project images using laptop+projector and to share this laptop
image with other VRVS participants.
=============================================================================

1) switch on the projector, using its remote
2) connect your laptop to projector using available VGA connector 
3) push second (from top) right button "source" on the remote
   and using the navigation roll choose the second item from the top
   (analog video)
4) synchronize the laptop signal with the projector input using a combination 
   of "Fn"+"CRT/LCD" buttons on your laptop (depending on the model) in order 
   to get the laptop screen image projected on the wall screen. 

5) on your laptop - start the same VRVS session as described in section B.
   until 8) inclusive

!!!   Important : to share your laptop image you have to have VNC server from 
      VRVS (downloads) installed and running (and password is to be defined) 
   
6) instead of clicking on "Connect using RAT and VIC", click on "sharing"
   button and declare your laptop as "shared" so that anybody connected to 
   this VRVS session can "accept" the shared laptop and to get its image on 
   his/her screen.
