The X60 is using intel i965 graphics right? (hard to tell without some dmesg or Xorg.0.log attached to your message) So X is normally using the 'intel' driver which uses XRandR 1.2. Plug you projector or external monitor, run 'xrandr --auto' and you should be setup for mirroring. Check the xrandr(1) man page and the intel web site http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html for more configuration options. If I wrong and the X60 doesn't use an intel chipset, please post more details first (Xorg.0.log or dmesg at least)
