This is 2011! Your BIOS should have a thing saying which display to initialise first, the internal or a PCI-E or something. That might help... sadly there's usually no way to DISABLE the internal display alltogether. When you're in text mode, it usually goes to all connected monitors. But when you switch to graphics you have to tell X which card to use. Honestly unless you're doing high-powered 3D graphics you might be fine just removing your video card and using the internal one. If not though you might want to connect your monitor to that one temporarily and use Gnome's display manager thing to tell it to use the other card. (also, perfect time to get a second monitor!) -Yaron --
