[wplug] Anyone familiar with a commercial X server from Xi Graphic

[Joseph Greenawalt]

at work i just wait until the my laptop is booted then connect the 
projector.
On dell it's fn + F5 to get it to display outward externally then again 
to display both.
If you have that option to cycle through the display, this could solve 
your problem
