Laptop connected to external monitor - Michael Fisher - 01-13-2019

I have an old lenovo T61 Thinkpad with the monitor no longer working. I've connected an external monitor to it and use it instead. However, when I put the LinuxLite Live CD and run it, all I get is the background image with no menus. I think what is happening is the Live CD thinks the external monitor is a 2nd monitor instead of the main one. I can right-click and get a terminal and the link to the support forums but no way to get to an install button or link.

Does anyone know how I could reconfigure the monitor setup using the terminal in LinuxLite?

Thanks in advance,
