Given that the (digital) X network traffic is likely to be much smaller than the (analog?) video bandwidth, I agree that the projector should have an ethernet port instead (OK as well for now) as a VGA connector. This simplifies what to do with the joystick/mouse many projectors now come with (no more plugging the projector's mouse lead into your laptop) but does mean that they need a keyboard or similar device with which to log into the laptop.
