I am in the process of moving from Windows XP to Ubuntu 14.04. I need to be able to run in what windows calls 'extended desktop'. As soon as I plug in the projector or a monitor the video output jumps to the external display and shut off the built in display. I have tried adjusting the display settings and it still jumps and I can't get the internal display to come on until I disconnect the external device. Every time I do this the settings are changed from built in display to all displays.

What graphics card do you have? Do you use gnome-control-center monitors or the control app from a proprietary graphics card (like nvidia-settings)?– CorneliusApr 20, 2014 at 19:00

When I'm running in windows The graphics are controlled by "intel Graphics Media Accelerator for Mobile". Is there an app for Ubuntu simular to this? I hope this helps.– user271602Apr 24, 2014 at 23:46
