xrandr --output LVDS -off
xrandr --auto
something like that (it may be LVDS-0 or LVDS-1 or something, just look
at the output of plain 'xrandr'). To make it semi-permanent, make the
change in gnome-display-properties; the layout you set in
gnome-display-properties is saved across GNOME sessions as your user. To
make it completely solid across all X sessions for all users, you can do
it in xorg.conf , following the syntax documented here:
