of course it says that.
your notebook has a widescreen-display with an aspect-ratio of 16:10 and
a resolution of 1280x800.
and you try to use that screenmode (1280x800) on the external monitor.
but if you don't use an external monitor which also has an aspect-ratio
of 16:10 and a resolution of 1280x800 it will reject of displaying that
mode.
you can do the following:
a) use an external widescreen monitor (16:10)
b) use the mode 1024x768 on both screens.
c) use an external crt monitor (no LCD)
d) try to configure your xorg.conf to use different modes on the two
displays, but not different content. you should remove or comment out
all "xinerama" options in your xorg.conf.
