Failure to Project OOImpress

[KAYVEN RIESE]

Couldn't connect to projector for presentation.

I was supposed to give a class presentation and we tried to hook 
my computer  into the 15 pin female joint (sorry I forget what it is 
called three rows of 5 pins each on the computer, hooking to 15 pins
on the wire) that I guess is usually a monitor connector.  The professor
kept saying "hit function-f8" but that didn't go.

I am running gnome on freeBSD

[kayve at kv_bsd ~]$ uname -a
FreeBSD kv_bsd 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 10:40:27 UTC 
2007     root at dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
[kayve at kv_bsd ~]$


He said it was all about BIOS, but we were trying to hit func-f8 during 
gnome running, so I thought
I would get a second opinion.
