set your laptop at the desired (i.e. projector) resolution before 
connecting it to the beamer i.e. don't let the beamer try to be clever 
and talk to the laptop ... just letting the laptop lie to the beamer 
that it has a matching resolution is often safer; it is seldom a problem 
if the presentation on the your laptop screen is somewhat deformed
