One way is to run "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg".
Another solution, is to find any CRT or LCD that can fit to your
external screen laptop port. I suggest using a CRT, which has more
tolerance regarding bad settings. Then you can try to reset things.
FYI, i am NOT sure this will fix anything. Maye your problem is of
another kind.
