I don't know much about the projector other than it seems to handle up 
to 1024x768.  I've tried reducing the resolution and color depth.

Dell Inspiron 8100
GeForce2 Go, 16MB

I actually don't run Linux very often on this laptop. I'm not sure which 
file is relevant; XF86config, XF86config-4, or both.  When I used 
Mandrake's config utility, the date stamps are updated for both files.  
I don't remember if I installed nVidia's driver or not.  (I don't have 
access to the laptop at this moment.)

Ideally, I'd the both the projector and the built-in display to work at 
the same time.

The last time my laptop was used at a presentation, we accessed it 
through XDMCP.
