Found a solution for myself using the following script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr_settings: Code: EXTERNAL_OUTPUT="VGA1" INTERNAL_OUTPUT="LVDS1"
xrandr |grep $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT | grep " connected " if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --off --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto else xrandr --output $INTERNAL_OUTPUT --auto --output $EXTERNAL_OUTPUT --off fi What the script does is disable my LVDS display when I connect the external monitor. I think the default behavior for gnome-display-properties should be to save the last config. It worked like that in Jaunty. Now xrandr turns on all available displays whenever it runs (when you lock the screen/logoff/run the gnome-display-properties applet). -- display configuration isn't saved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566683 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
