It's becoming far more common.  I have a laptop here that not only will do "dual head" between the laptop and an external monitor (not just clone), but after a video driver update the composite out will act as monitor #3 when the laptop screen and external monitor are in use (essentially "triple head").  Prior to the driver update it was mutually exclusive between the external monitor and the composite out.  In other words, make sure you have the best drivers for your card.

So After doing more searching for a solution to actually hooking the projector up to my computer here is what I have found:
 
This link is for HP computers but the important thing to note is that this really is an article about how to use the S-Video of your computer and have it used as the output for your second monitor!
 
In my situation I have a HP slim line case. I am unable to buy a video card due to the case. I do have a S-Video out put on the back of the computer.
 
Next issue I had was my projector does not support S-Video Shocked to solve that I am going to get a S-Video to Componet converted. Located at various site on the internet but here is a quick list of them:
 
With a bunch of these off the shelf proprietary computer makers like dell and HP your kinda stuck with what they give you! I hope this helps someone out there, If not it might in about 3 - 4 years lol. Now will this work???? In theory yes, but I'll keep you posted.

I've been experimenting with various ways to get video from some of the more "temperamental" computers around our house, and I'm getting pretty close to a useful configuration for Christmas.  I've found that most of my problems with S-video/composite/VGA/DVI adapting have centered around clone/dual mode settings, refresh rates, timings, and/or weird resolution issues.

What exactly is your projector doing/not doing?  Do you have the make/model of your projector handy?  What internal video card/adapter/processor does your HP computer have installed? (Go to My Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager/Display Adapters in XP.  If you're using Vista, you'll have to find it yourself  =:o )
