another blank screen problem

[ipwnrobots]

I read about many similar problems and tried each solution, but I have not found one that fixes the problem.

I installed Kubuntu and it worked fine. As I was messing with the settings, I tried to get my second monitor working so I would have dual monitors. After I applied the settings, it said I had to restart the X server so I did. It went to the screen with the low resolution blue logo, but had no words underneath. Now, that is all I get. I opened the xorg.conf file, but I have no idea what to change. If there is a way to reset all settings or something, that would be fine. Otherwise, how do I undo the dual monitor settings and get it working just with my laptop LCD? I have a Nividia video card and the driver settings is set to nv.

Thank you for the help.

Re: another blank screen problem

1)If you are lucky, just use your backup (xorg.conf~):
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf~ /etc/X11/xorg.conf


2)Reconfigure your graphic settings:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
(reconfiguring makes backupfile: xorg.conf.20060724102828 -> year month day hour minutes seconds)


3)Try xorg helppers:
kX Generator

Description:
kX Generator is a utilitty to configure the X server by modyfying X configuration file (xorg.conf).

Re: another blank screen problem

The first option failed, probably because I do not have a backup. The second option took forever and I did not know what I was doing, but I just selected most of the defaults, and now it seems to work just fine. Thanks for the help.
