I have a projector at home (best thing for movies since dolby and they
are cheaper every day) and this is basicly what I do. I just mirror
the screen in the laptop and the proyector and close the laptop,
actually that's one of the reasons I control everything in dwm with
the mouse. But you don't have to worry about xinerama or xandr, dwm
will adapt to the new situation because the root window will be
resized if resolution changes. If you want to do something fancier
than duplicating the screen that's another question.
