After my update from 12.04 to 13.10 my display configuration started showing an extra unknown monitor, even though I have nothing connected.



enter image description here

This problem seems to had been previously asked here and here.



Any ideas on how to solve this?

I have finally found a working solution in these two questions:
one,
two



Basically one needs to edit sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and replace



GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""


by



GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="video=VGA-2:d"


where VGA-2 is the name of the incorrectly connected display shown by xrandr.



Run



sudo update-grub


and reboot
