How did you switch from LCD to the projector? By pressing Fn+F7?
At least on my R50e, it's not possible to get this to work.

Instead I suggest you to try the little tool called i855crt which can
be found at http://i855crt.sf.net/.

You can then just issue the following command to duplicate the screen
to the projector:  ./i855crt swcursor on 1024x768@60
To switch off the video output, ./i855crt off.
