if you are using a nvidia card, and you have a speperate section for
your projector in it, try adding the following line to the Display
section
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "nvidia-auto-select"
EndSubSection
This should tell the nvidia driver (version 8756 and above) to
autoselect the resolution.
