I recently gave a talk to the Tucson Adobe Users Group and was
unable to get independent profiles to work on the projector and my
MacBook Pro using a Beamer and the latest version of Eye-One Match.
Just to clarify, did you have a hard time
a) calibrating profiling both while they are simultaneously active or
b) assigning separate profiles to each display after calibration?
The distinction could be paramount.
It was very frustrating, and if someone has a trick to get this to
work, I'd sure love to hear it.
OK try this:
1) With the projector disconnected, calibrate and profile the laptop
display.
2) Connect the projector to the laptop in clamshell mode (closed) so
that the projector is the only display.
3) Calibrate and profile the projector as the sole display.
4) open the laptop and setup both displays for use in mirroring mode.
5) in the Displays system preference panes (there is one for each
display) select the correct profile for each display
6) View your evaluation image to confirm the results. And don't expect
perfection on the projector if it uses DLP tech.
7) If this still fails, give up on EOM and move onto another package
that doesn't require a complicated workaround.
I don't know whether to blame the OS, Match, or a combination of
both,
Well I can tell you that while the the process is a pain with EOM,
it's totally straight forward with several other packages on the
market. I wouldn't blame the OS.

That's been my experience from day one. Projector looks great after
profiling, laptop display, not so much.
Well don't give up - you can do it! Let me know how the above
procedure works for you.

One thing that I've noticed caused many people problems is the wide
array of
'display options' you get in the menus of some projectors.It can
take quite a bit of adjustment to get some displays into their
'best'mode for calibration,
Excellent point. As with an LCD monitor, it's best to reset the
contrast and RGB settings to their native settings prior to
calibration and profiling. As with an LCD monitor, you can usually
achieve this by reseting the settings to their factory defaults.
