I have no issues plugging in an HDMI monitor and displaying something (ubuntu tends to decide where it is extended, but I don't really care).



After unplugging, sometimes my laptop still thinks that the display is plugged in, and will spawn windows on that "display". This means I have to hotkey the window over to my working display, which requires me to remember the random spot that the display manager decided to extend the secondary display.



It seems the easiest way to reproduce it is to unplug the HDMI port after putting the laptop to sleep, as it's no longer picking up the unplug event. Is there a way to force a scan so it sees the lack of extended display?



I have both the nouveau and nvidia drivers blacklisted due to display issues, so I assume it's running on intel's integrated graphics, if that matters.
