[clue-tech] Messed up display, how to undo?

[Adrian F. Nagle, IV]

Thank you!  Since you pointed me to the right direction, I saw that KDE backed up the xorg.conf file and so restored it.

So, if I wanted the external video port to be on, what would I do in KDE so I can display a laptop display on an external screen?
