Plug in the monitor then go to System> Preferences> Monitors (or
Displays I think, dependent on Ubuntu version) then click Detect
Monitors and it should then recognise it.

Unless I'm missing something here (recovering from 'flu and groggy) this
should be pretty straightforward. Some laptops and projectors do throw
up problems but by and large you just attach the VGA and maybe reboot or
re-login and you're away!
Agree, try it out half an hour before the audience arrives - and if you
get really messed up problems, just borrow a laptop off someone there
and have your presentation in pdf format on a USB key so it doesn't get
mashed by converting to MS Office ;)
