Sorry for the late reply, just got back from a trip.
If you want, you can spend a few minutes making buttons on a panel to
turn the external monitor on/off.
First, run 'xrandr -q' to list your output options. They will look
like this: LVDS, VGA, VGA1, CRT1, DFP1, etc.
Now, assuming LVDS is your

In Ubuntu at least I believe the default driver is Nouveau. It was
working great until I ripped the nVidia out in favor of an ATI (better
open driver support, and the 5750 is far quieter than the 9500GS). It
works great with the two mismatched monitors that I have connected, I

I've never had to lug my desktop around with it's own monitor and
sometimes want to plugin a projector as well. Seems a laptop is better

If you are using the default nvidia driver, the Ubuntu monitors under
System -> Preferences is where you want to be. The interface is point
and click, if you connect an external panel it should show up here.
If you are using the proprietary drivers (I feel sorry for you if you
need this), nVidia
Except that this is wrong. In a modern distro like Ubuntu 10.10 this
just works. Linux is as popular as it needs to be. Framing the
discussion in this way misses the point entirely (and is largely
