I don't think I've ever seen a laptop that lacked a VGA port (even the
iBook). Usually the selection of output route is controlled by some
"magic" key sequence (on older Toshibas it was Fn-F5) that interacts
directly with the H/W. The only difficulty is when the capabilities of
the screen and the projector don't match up and the X-configurations
give problems.
