Did you enable the TwinView Option for nvidia? It works for me with this 
xorg.conf:

---------------------------------------------------
Section "Device"
    Identifier      "NVIDIA"
    Driver          "nvidia"
    Option          "TwinView" "Yes"
    Option          "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
    Option          "MetaModes" "1440x900,1600x900"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen 1"
    Device         "NVIDIA"
    Monitor        "My Monitor"
    Option         "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection
---------------------------------------------------

Adjust the MetaModes according to your external monitor.

Bernd
