OK, so maybe the issue was with an update to the intel X server.  Anyway, 
I've found a solution to one problem that causes another.  Using the i810 
X server solves the problem with video, but unfortunately it doesn't 
allow me to use my monitor with my laptop.  So now I have a problem in 
that I need to switch between X servers depending on the intended use of 
my laptop.  Is there a way that I can do this easily on boot or at the 
login screen or in some such way?  

Thanks.
