so, question: Is it actually possible to run a different X session on the projector?
Having never had a laptop I could experiment much with, I don't know. I came across something last week that led me to believe that a laptop essentially has a "second video card" which it uses for the external monitor, but I briefly experimented with an older laptop that led me to believe that was not the case at least with this laptop.
Some high-end laptops (including Macs) allow the VGA out to be used to drive a second independent display. Sadly, most laptops lack this nifty feature.
