It is wrong to assume that there's anything special about 99% of the
projectors out there. The only question is whether the DDC information is
available for autoconfiguration. But I've found with *every* projector I've
every run across that a basic VGA X configuration will work every time. And
adding new resolutions to the screen section is all that's needed for the
higher resolutions as well.

Nothing's likely really changed, Ubuntu is just finally doing something
logical by default, rather than make you do it manually. Projectors haven't
been a real problem in literally years.
