@Ritesh: looking again to that issue and your patch, they are several problems
* you are changing "do-nothing" to do something, the main reason that this setting was added is that the xrandr calls can be slow on some drivers (e.g taking over a second), your patch will add several seconds delay on boot on some configuration * you make the default to be xinerama when there is no lid closed, that's wrong in some cases. E.g we want to default to mirror for projectors configurations) ... there is no good way to detect projectors at the moment though, that's why we default to mirror * the lid status is not an accurate info, some hardware don't rely that status correctly Did you consider suggesting to the customer to just change the "default-monitors-setup" gsettings key from 'do-nothing' to 'dock'. The schemas documentation says: 'dock' will switch off the internal monitor That seems like what they want, and they should be able to just deplay a custom settings package including a schemas override easily? -- 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."""
