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.
