What if the "known to work" laptop is running at, say, 1280x1024, and
therefore it syncs with the projector just fine. But my screen is
1680x1050, and my video driver does not support 1280x1024? 

The projector is capable of 1600x1200. Due to the nature of the
presentation I need to squeeze pixels out of it until it screams.
