Still pretty new to this, from what i have read, the more info i give the better, I am running ubuntu 11.04 with KDE installed via the terminal. I was trying to get my TV to work as another display, I don't know what I have done, after my earlier problems I have learnt to back up and restore my xorg.conf file but with no luck, I now can't change any settings as the title says the apply button is grayed out and when i try and save it to the xorg.conf file and restart the xserver it says that
"Your current changes to the X server display configuration may no longer be applied due to changes made to the running X server.

If you select "Cancel", you will only be allowed to apply settings once you have reset the configuration.Your current changes to the X server display configuration may no longer be applied due to changes made to the running X server.

Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0".
