These are the commands used in the video - please type them correctly as mistakes could cause errors. I will not be held responsible for your display not working because of this video. All command used are correct. Please note when capitals are used.

cd /etc/X11
cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
Xorg -configure
cp /root/xorg.conf.new xorg.conf
reboot

If it doesn't work you will need to use these commands to restore previous settings.
cd /etc/X11
cp xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf
reboot

Sorry for the sound quality but my laptop mic isn't that good.
