Hi Sol!  Good to see you online again.  I'm another old timer back to 
the PLUG list recently.  I'm working on my PhD now so I've handed over 
the reins of Terminus Network Services and iLaw, though I've 
unexpectedly just become manager of Reynolds Technology part-time.

I also have an Epson projector running off a Linux machine, though 
mine's an EMP-TW600.  To get it working I used these lines:

Section "Monitor"
     Identifier     "Epson EMP-TW600"
     HorizSync       15.0 - 60.0
     VertRefresh     50.0 - 85.0
     ModeLine       "1280x720" 110.0 1280 1720 1760 1980 720 725 730 750 
+hsync +vsync
     Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Then I also changed all the "1024x768" lines to "1280x720" in my 
"Screen" section.  Don't rely on what "Screen Resolution" in GNOME tells 
you.  Mine didn't say that it supported that resolution, but it works.
