I'm sorry that it doesn't work on your laptop, but it works out of the box
for many of us - most Nvidia & Intel chipsets are very well supported.
It especially works well with those which have RandR 1.2 support to enable
additional screens at runtime - which is mostly Intel graphics at this point,
with ATI coming soon. If RandR 1.2 is supported, then on builds 99 and later,
setting up a projector may be as simple as hitting the display switch hotkey,
thanks to the integration of the dispswitch project.
Strong feelings here are useless, so please leave that out of the bug reports
- what's needed is technical data on which configurations still have problems.
