When i attach my Notebook (Nvidia Geforce GT 240M) to my Panasonic-TV via HDMI, both screens are activated. I use Nvidia-Driver Version 260.19.06.
I wonder how to deactivate my notebook display automatically or with one Script and switch to the external Monitor when attached. The TV needs an overscan-correction of 100px to display the whole screen.
I also want to close the notebook without deactivating the external monitor, what still happens now.
Is this possible?

Here is a simple script to turn off notebook display when external monitor is connected:
If you want to set a specific resolution, you may add "--mode 1680x1050" in the end of xrandr lines. Output offset can be added using "--pos 100x0" command.
The script can be bound to any unused key combination or executed on startup using "System>>Preferences>>Startup Applications"
Note, that "DFP1" may be different on your system - check out 'xrandr -q' output with external monitor attached
