For older beamers it might be necessary to restart X after you switch on
the external output. Try
i810switch crt on
then press CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE
If this does not work try to use only the external output, i.e.
i810switch crt on
i810switch lcd off
then press CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE
If it still does not work you might have to tweak xorg.conf. Have a look
at "man i810", especially the "Clone" and "CloneRefresh" options.
