I have Linux Mint 17.1 xfce 32bit recently installed. Lets call this PC PC1.
The display had normal and adjustable settings, it's name was shown correctly.
The problem occurred when once I started system and monitor's POWER cable unfortunately was unplugged. I plugged it back but system see only default monitor with some standard resolutions and no options for refresh rate, etc.
I have nearby another PC (we'll call it PC2) with similar OS LM 17.1 xfce 64bit, so I changed monitors. PC2 recognized monitor correctly, but the PC1 did not recognized new monitor again. So, the monitor is not broken.
Also, in Settings Editor I found two monitors: 'default' and 'VGA-1'. Tried to change some options there with no effect. But OS somehow considers itself as dual monitors. I have two video-cards - onchip and PCI, but onchip is turned off in BIOS.
What should I do?
Plz help!

Pjotr,
OS didn't recognize monitor (it is still 'default') BUT it allowed me to change resolution and refresh rate.
It worked!
Thank You very much!
