I don't think that you have any dependency on linux to get you notebook showing
images in the projector. Most (all?) notebooks have a function (Fn) key and a
key in the numeric row with a monitor-like figure. Press Fn+monitor and the
notebook start to display on the LCD or on the external device (a monitor,
datashow or projector) or both. And I think that the same happens with the
TV-out.
