It is because I am using a separate 19" LCD screen with my MacBook, and my
MacBook is too far away on the right of my main screen (and cannot be
closer), with blacked out screen. It is annoying because the position of
windows are often set (.Xresources) to the right hand side of the screen,
and in that case they go on to the other blacked out screen!
Then why don't you operate the MacBook with the lid closed? That way the
19" LCD will be your main and only screen.
It is because it heats up more rapidly (fan) and after a while the screen
gets dirty with the heated dirt.
I use my MacBook in this configuration all the time. It is possible
to start/wake the system with the lid down, let the external monitor
become the main/only screen, then flip open the lid and run with the
lid's screen still off/disabled.
This is my normail daily work setup. I use the linux box's display
sitting next to it with ScreenRecycler to have a dual-headed
big(ger)-screen setup.
