I need to connect my laptop to an external monitor but i need my laptop screen off.
Is it possible? I use an hdmi or vga connection, gnome as DE and ati 5700 graphic card

mm...
try on a terminal "xrandr"
first type xrandr to know the name of the two displays... then
xrandr --output laptopdisplayname --off --output monitorname --preferred
That will turn of the laptop display and turn on the monitor....
But I don't know if that command runs on gnome.. if it runs try to download "arandr" gui app of xrandr from yaourt
