In Fatdog64, it's Zarfy.

But I used to do it manually using xrandr command.

It seems in X-Slacko Slim 4.4 it's called Display.

OK, I use a 36" TV as my monitor, for my Lenovo T430 notebook. With other Linuxes, I can turn off the laptop monitor and just feed video to my TV. I can't figure out how to do that in Xenial Pup 64. I tried the xrandr command mentioned above, and it just shows me what is (and is not) connected, I do not see any switches to disable anything.

Any help here?

Hi zaivala,
As now you have run xrandr and know what is connected and to which port.
If your laptop's monitor is identified as LVDS1 then just run

Code: Select all

xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
