Not quite.  I've a Thinkpad T42, and I've figured the presentation thing
out.  Your Thinkpad has a different graphics adapter (ATI Mobility
Radeon Xpress 200M, while mine is an older Mobility Radeon 7500), so
things may be somewhat different for you.

First of all, what kind of problem do you have?  Does the projector stay
blank when you connect it?  Do you get picture that's all wobbly and
wavy?

I've found that I have to reboot the laptop with the external
monitor/projector plugged in if I want to get a clear picture.  When I
do that, I don't have to do anything else -- I get the picture on both
the internal LCD and the external monitor/projector automatically.

Also, do you use the open-source 'radeon' driver, or ATI's proprietary
fglrx?
