Done. I changed a couple things since reporting this though. I stopped setting the screen positions in the initial commands I posted. I booted with no monitor attached, without running the script, then connected the monitor and ran it (again, without settings positions) and sent the report while the laptop display was disabled (only using external monitor.) If you need me to run it some other way let me know.

It looks like this: xrandr --newmode "2560x1440R" 241.50 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1481 +hsync -vsync xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 "2560x1440R" xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode "2560x1440R" xrandr --output HDMI-1 --pos 0x0 xrandr --output eDP-1 --pos 2560x360 Starting recently, since I installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 (was using .1 before), even though the monitor isn't connected, that "space" is still there. I can move my mouse out of my laptop screen and it goes over where the monitor would be and gets lost. And screenshots (Print Screen) captures a large blank space as if the monitor were connected. As I said, this just started happening recently but I don't remember exactly what update caused it. All I know is before I installed 18.04.2, this didn't happen. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/boot.log' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: bionic DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, including running git bisection searches GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 [8086:5917] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell UHD Graphics 620 [1028:0804] InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-02-16 (22 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20190210) MachineType: Dell Inc.
