I use duplicate one monitor laptop LCD and other monitor that monitor resolution is bigger than laptop LCD. How can I set laptop LCD resolution for them?

When I use the mirror button it sets 1024 * 768 but my laptop LCD resolution is 1366 * 768 -- how can I set this resolution for them? When I set this resolution I get an error. My laptop is an HP dv6 6080 and VGA is Intel sandy bridge if I change to AMD VGA can I resolve this problem?

This is the xrandr output -q output. How can I put laptop resolution for two lcd that full monitors screen?

    xrandr -q

If your monitor does not support the wide screen resolution of 1366x768 you will not be able to set that resolution. You can likely set your laptop to use the 1024x768 though.

If it is a wide screen monitor then you should be able to set that resolution in:

system settings > displays

If you do not have that resolution then the system is not identifying the external monitor properly.

From my opinion, maybe you can use the xrandr to fix up the resolution on both monitor. I'm using the Samsung NP148 (Netbook) with onBoard intel graphic accelerator, when I connected to the LCD monitor through the VGA cable, I can fix the resolution using the xrandr at ease.

to ensure that the LCD screen connected, you have to run this :

xrandr -q

this will list all available monitor connected to the laptop and the laptop's monitor itself (LVDS). With xrandr, all configuration are in command line and I found that command line sometimes could be a great troublesome. I'm suggesting for you to use the grandr, the GUI-version for the xrandr. You can install it by :

sudo apt-get install grandr

Then, run this app. After that, you might able to set the display resolution for both of the monitor. If you are on nVidia-powered box, you can use the disper but since you are not on it, feel free to follow guides about. Tell me if it is working~
