But the main display is just black the mouse arrow works and i can drag icons over it they wont stick thou.

How would I go about making a desktop button to turn on and off my TV screen which I have set up as an extended desktop currently, I would like to be able to switch between 1 desktop and an extended desktop.(1 or 2 monitors)
Don't know if what I want to do is called switching hardware profiles. Im using an Nvidia graphics card I used the nivdia tool to set up the tv as extended desktop couldn't get 2 Xservers to work, I'm using kde .
