Turn on "extern_disp" option in your XF86Config file.
In 'Section "Device"', uncomment (or add) these if necessary:

	Option     "intern_disp"
	Option     "extern_disp"

PS	With above, I believe that same mode (sync rates, etc.)
	will be used to drive external display.  Since you're using
	internal LCD which is driven at relatively low sync rates,
	I don't think your projector has any trouble following it.
	(Correct me if I'm wrong.)
