I had the same problem before, and recently had some luck with a 
different projector.  I played with "CRT2HSync" and "CRT2VRefresh" 
options, which you also see in John's device section.  I set them to 
relative low values (vrefresh 50Hz), and got a nice projected picture. 
Now I only don't know whether the projector was better than the first 
one, or whether this generally helps...  Would be nice if you could try 
it on your projector.
