Ubuntu and screen resolution and MIT

My best guess would be that the system, for some reason, was still thinking the external display was active?  I've spent plenty of time in class rooms with projectors.  And I can tell you that normal users and external displays on laptops, rarely get along well.  Doesn't really matter what os we are talking about.  Would be nice if linux could beat windows in areas such as this.  But I think the major issue is dealing with the analog hole (assuming you were using vga?), and the hardware not properly recognizing  anlog connection.  Hopefully some day all laptops will be using hdmi, usb3 or what ever else for external video, and the systems will have a better standard of communication.  But with vga I suspect its more of a hardware and driver issue, than a proble in the os itself.
