So MacOS does it differently?
I can see the video on both lcd and beamer then.

Yes, wow! Thanks for the hint!
With this keyword I have found 
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver#Video_overlay

and used 
xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1
with http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/dist/xvattr-1.3.tar.gz
and it worked.

BTW: Is there a reason why xvattr is not packaged in Debian?
