You need to either boot with projector connected, in which case all
screens will on projector and nothing on monitor.

Or build xorg.conf for two screens like mine given below. Under gnome
I run command display-properties-gtk and generate this. When you want
to turn on projector you have to restart X by simply logging out and
in again.
