I'm not sure what the problem is here. The internal panel and the
external monitor are both enabled, according to the log the panel uses
1400x1050 and the external monitor 1280x1024. What behaviour did you
expect instead?
You can disable the internal screen with xrandr --output LVDS --off, but
by default all connected outputs are enabled.
Cheers,
