This is how I would do it: 1. Log out (not shutdown) 2. Switch to a console (CTRL-ALT-F1), login as root and shutdown the display manager (gdm, kdm, ...) 3. Change monitor 4. run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 5. switch to a different console (ALT-F2) and login as normal user 6. startx to test my new config 7. start display manager.
