I'd like to disable my laptop monitor at startup (when an external monitor is connected), but make it available in X.By default, my boot looks like :* Grub2 displays only on my external monitor (at maximum resolution)* Kernel displays only on my external monitor (maximum resolution)* udev (I think) is started and turns on my laptop screen.
Hi,
Apologies if this is somehow covered elsewhere. I've done a good bit of searching to no avail.
I'm running 2 monitors from a fresh install of F17 on my Dell Latitude D410.
Monitor 1: the laptop's LCD screen - detected, all fine and dandy.
Monitor 2: an external flatscreen monitor.
I am running Ubuntu 12.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop. The problem I am having is that when I close the lid on the laptop it also shuts off the video signal to my external monitor.

I was expecting the external monitor to be enabled and the laptop screen to be disabled as the lid is closed anyway, i.e. the video to be switched to the external monitor when docked.
I have been trying to connect my laptop to an external monitor (different resolutions). My idea was to setup the external monitor as a clone of the laptop screen.
In Ubuntu Quantal's display settings I can detect both displays but I can only setup as an expanded dual monitor.
The mirror option is visible but disabled.

external LCD monitor with: 1024x768

Hello!
So I have yet another dual monitor setup question.
I am using ubuntu 12.10, with gnome classic (not unity)
I have a laptop with my LCD screen (duh), and an external monitor that is connected most of the time, but not always, and sometimes I have to disconnect it while working to use it for other things.
