My function keys didn't work once I switched to GNU/Linux for some
reason. As a result I wrote a bash script to turn off the LVDS display
(LCD screen attached to the laptop). This can be added to the startup
process so it can be done automatically. If your interested, I can give
it to you (it just uses the xrandr binary).

Hi I have a laptop whose display is getting bad by the day, and i want

I use xset dpms force off, but the mouse / keyboard movement triggers it
on again. Is there a way to turn it off for good?
This isn't an answer to the question you asked, but every contemporary
laptop I've ever see has a function key to switch between built-in panel
and external display. Can't you just switch to external display mode?
