I have done it.  The picture leaves a lot to be desired but
then again I was projecting it with a normal home big screen
tv.  I wrote a control panel CDEV to do the switching so
I will try to find it and post it as soon as I can.  One
serious problem with the cdev is that it only gains control
after the boot up so for a few seconds you have normal mac
video coming out.  The way I fixed this was to put a beep
into the cdev and not to connect the video until it had executed.

If you need any more info please contact me.
