This sounds like your laptop is treating the external monitor as a secondary display and the (non-existing?) internal display as first. Perhaps the laptop has an internal graphics adapter and it treats the internal display as first, the external as second.
Usually laptops have some "function key" to switch that behavior. If you could tell us the exact making of your laptop somebody might even know how to do it.
I hope this helps.

I am a linux newbie and I am learning. I need a script that will monitor a port and if active -- only active, not listening or waiting -- then pipe some commands to the screen as if they were typed on the keyboard. Can a bash or perl script do this and if so, could someone help me out?

FUJBP(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual FUJBP(4)
NAME
fujbp, fujhk -- Fujitsu Brightness, Pointer, and Hotkeys
SYNOPSIS
fujbp* at acpi?
fujhk* at acpi?
DESCRIPTION
Some Fujitsu laptops come with vendor-specific ACPI devices to manage the laptop hotkeys (such as the 'Eco' button), and to control various
built-in components (such as the display, the touchpad, and the speakers). The fujbp and fujhk drivers provide support, through these ACPI
devices, for hotkeys, backlight on/off switch, brightness level control, and pointer on/off switch.
The following sysctl(8) read/write variables are provided (when hardware support is available):
hw.acpi.fujbp0.brightness Brightness level (integer).
hw.acpi.fujbp0.pointer Pointer switch state (boolean).
hw.acpi.fujhk0.backlight Backlight switch state (boolean).
Please note, however, that future versions of the drivers may remove these sysctl(8) variables without prior notice.
SEE ALSO
acpi(4), acpivga(4), sysctl(8), pmf(9), sysmon_pswitch(9)
HISTORY
The fujbp and fujhk drivers appeared in NetBSD 6.0.
AUTHORS
Gregoire Sutre <gsutre@NetBSD.org>
CAVEATS
Brightness level and backlight switch state should be controlled via wsconsctl(8) instead of sysctl(8).
The sysctl(8) variable hw.acpi.fujbp0.pointer should be replaced by a platform-independent userland control.
