Dell XPS 1530m Display Problem

[vandorjw]

Hey everyone,

I have an older dell laptop. xps 1530m with the nvidia 8400m GS.
The screen on the laptop is broken, but the external display still seems to work.

I have installed Debian Wheezy to it. Grub shows up fine, and I can select either recovery mode or the default option. I then see a whole lot of

...loading "something" [OK]
After it loads GDM3 (Gnome Display Manager), the external screen turns black. (The primary display is cracked and never displays anything)

I can remote into the laptop via ssh.

UPDATE::
[My Previous Request was for a xorg configuration file that disables the internal LCD]

I am now in the process of making a such a file, but I require some help. This is what I currently have.

EndSection

and this is the error I receive now

Fatal server error:
