eg Optoma PK320 works for me!

<t>Success - of a sort!<br/> <br/> You are right - it was all down to power issues...<br/> <br/> The main problem was a combination of the power supply/usb hub.<br/> <br/> The hubs I was using were powered, but sucked power from the Pi too when they could. In any event, there was not enough power av...

<r>Ys – I looked there and (going from my memory here) decided to install the package from /debian squeeze using apt-get as per Omers tutorial.
