Here is the output to /var/log/Xorg.0.log when I select "mirror displays". The resolution of both displays is decreased to the smaller resolution (1024x768); on previous versions of Ubuntu, it was possible to stay at the higher resolution, where the smaller display showed only a portion of the screen. This is useful when using only an external display in non-extended mode, but is no longer possible.
