Affects me too on an Asus N43SL with nvidia GeForce GT540M. The extra screen is detected both by nouveau and the nvidia proprietary driver. On Ubuntu 18.04 which relies on nouveau to turn off the dGPU, this prevents the nvidia card from shutting down, which causes useless battery drain and heating.
