So to enable external output you can do this: xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --output LVDS --off
to switch back xrandr --output VGA-0 --off --output LVDS --auto you can assign this to some shortcuts. Or do a acpi script for the hotkey. I have done similar for docking and undocking on my thinkpad. Also you can use the tools for your DE, for example krandrtray for KDE or gnome it has in Settings I think. Robert.
