Hi @seb128 This is a modified version of the patch pushed upstream. The upstream seems to have independently written a patch to implement the same idea. The added an option to use the default configuration ( which I have skipped here, as I do not see much use for this ).
I have posted the gnome bz to the lp, and the git commit - * http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/plugins/xrandr/gsd-xrandr-manager.c?id=32f7a938fca072e14bad1928b492e29ba0e3090c The new follow-lid action was added here, which I have skipped over. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/plugins/xrandr/gsd-xrandr-manager.c?id=a95d9cdf0d1e69c171a17af7fbb8f75869cd54b9 -- ritz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065979 Title: external/internal monitors mirrored on boot when laptop lid is closed Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Oneiric: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Precise: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in s-series: Fix Committed Bug description: If I put my X220 in a dock, and plug in an external monitor. Then I close the lid and turn on the computer, the computer will boot up with both the internal laptop screen and external monitor on and mirror. Because I can't see the laptop screen, I would expect the external monitor to be only on at its maximum resolution. I've actually tried this without the dock by plugging in an external monitor to my laptop and shutting the lid during boot quickly, the same problem persists. This problem is exhibited on Precise/Oneiric as well as Quantal. In particular this specification mentions this behavior: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Blueprints/MultiMonitor In this user story: """Alan goes to the office, puts his laptop with the lid closed into a docking station and boots it up. The external display should be run at its native resolution. Later that day he needs to see a customer. He suspends the laptop and takes it out of the docking station. At the customer he wakes up the laptop and the internal screen is used at its native resolution. Finishing his visit the laptop is suspended, brought back to the office. There it is placed in the docking station, woken up and the external display should run again at its native resolution."""
