If you search the /var/log/xorg0.log for EDID, you should see what it is reporting. I do not know your hardware, and I have not done dual monitors, so I can not help you with this part. What you may want to try is instead of having the external monitor echo what the laptop display shows, configure X to handle two displays, sending the same information to each display.
