Yo, works in linux also....

What you need to do is start a vncviewer "in listen mode" on the projector.
Then you can connect to it from your desktop by issuing 
vncserver --connect <projector-ip>:<displayno>


I use this all the time.

All my family and most my friends have Icons on thier desktops called
"Screen to Jerry".  When they double-click it I get a thier screen to help 
them out with.  This method gets around thier firewalls, and dynamic Ip 
address stuff...
