Note: PC Computer Laptop can't use the cable directly
You can't hook this cable to the USB port of any system then plug the male RCA
connectors to the female RCA connector and then plug the 3.5mm jack into your
projector. The USB ports can't act as Video drivers....
You need to tell people a few things....
What is the make and model of your projector?
What type of system is your Fedora system? Desktop/Laptop? What is the video HW?
If a desktop, what type of video card? Does it have one or two connectors? Many
have a VGA and DVI connector and are capable to drive dual monitors.

@Edward M, Ed Greshko: It's completely generic, the projector doesn't have a brand, doesn't has a model.
My computer it's a laptop with VGA port, the only cables I have are the ones I show in the following images:
(Same as above)
So, Quick idea: As the USB port is not capable to stream video, I was wondering if
with this cable:
Maybe it will be possible to connect the projector to the VGA port of the PC and then select
it as an output instead of the laptop screen resulting that in a projection from the computer
to the projector?? O.o, In a "Diagram" My idea is:
This to the projector: (As it only has AV IN port exactly for this cable):
Then This to that cable:
And Finally the VGA end from that last cable to the VGA port of the Laptop, then maybe run the
command issued above:
"xrandr --output VGA"
And as far as I understand it should result in projection from the laptop computer to
the projector as it were a VGA monitor right??
What do you think? :)
