(don’t ask me where dvi-0 comes from…)
one would think a simple xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto would activate the second monitor. however, this doesn’t change anything. instead, i have to use the following:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --same-as LVDS
after closing the notebook lid, i get a picture on my monitor… but i may not turn off lvds or dvi-0, or the monitor (on vga) will turn off…
