[Bug 577771] [NEW] Laptop monitor is always turned on automatically

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I use my laptop with an external monitor and even though I disable the laptop screen, it is always turned on automatically when:
- Someone logs in or changes user
- I run the command "xrandr", even without any arguments
- I try to start compiz
I've tried turning it off by running xrandr and by using the GUI from the System menu, it remained turned off until I did anything listed above.

I have this problem since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 9.10, which
was working fine.
