Sony Vaio Laptop monitor will not mirror external monitor
Sony Vaio VGN BX660p, just installed Ubuntu 14.04.
Boots up to laptop screen OK. (no external monitor plugged in)
Boots up to external monitor OK. (when external monitor plugged in)
System-Displays Shows both monitors, I can set them and select them.
It all looks fine except that the Laptop monitor is black, never turns on.
The only way I can find to get it back is to unplug the external monitor, and either reboot or logout and login again.
I can't use either mirrored or extended display. They were working with 12.04, it may have had the proprietary drivers I'm not sure, I installed a completely new 14.04 over top.
