I'm getting closer to a solution, although I don't understand all things.
The "lighting_baking.avi" from Yo Frankie DVD helped me. The tutorial is extremely fast, I had to stop it several times, and I compared the settings seen and changed in the video to mine in blender and vice versa.
I see the mix of the 2 textures in the material preview now.

If anybody can give an advice how to "apply" this mix to the object in the 3D view as well, it would be appreciated! smile
