Lost Display Settings

[Lokeey]

okay...it looks like when i swapped out the cables that xorg freaked out
because it was only configured for one monitor and i think that when i
plugged in the other cable and swapped settings on the monitor that it
freaked out and didn't like that very much. at least that is what i'm
guessing what happened. don't you just love an OS with a personality? :)
