In case my previous comment was not clear, what I want is: 1) Set up a spanned laptop + external display configuration. This works, correct? 2) Open up a terminal, and run "xrandr --output LVDS1 --off". This should turn off your laptop panel, leaving only the external display active. It should *also* not break your external display. 3) Report whether or not (2) turned off your internal display without breaking your external display :)
