That's how it works with most laptops I've seen - an Fn + F<x> button what
flips between either screen/external or screen/external/both. Laptop's don't
feed to the external VGA by default as it increases the required power to
feed the VGA driver.

All you've got to hope for is the projector supports the refresh rate then ;)
