Hi

I think I have an idea what to include in ibm-videobtn:

-action=/bin/true
+action=xrandr --auto

However this does not best way to do it, but it works and maybe it is
better than /bin/true.
This will only switch on the second display if is already connected, it
won't switch off unless disconnected.

Some further ideas:
Make an external script which toggles between:
switch off VGA: xrandr --output VGA --off
switch off internal display: xrandr --output LVDS --off

Detect if a xrandr aware video card is present (works with intel, not
sure about the others).

I think "xrandr --auto" is simple and safe enought.

If someone have the resources to write the external script, the better.

Thanks,
