<div>Mike,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the input. I thought it might have something to do with that, but my xorg.conf only references a single screen. Here it is:</div>

<div>Is there anything you can see that I would need? Understand that I physically ripped the LCD off of the laptop, so it may not be registering as a valid output.</div>
