I have a laptop that attach an external monitor to when I am at
home.
Until today, it always came up in single screen mode, duplicated on
both monitors. I had a power failure, and now the system is treating
them as two monitors side by side. I am an old timer an prefer the
days of the xorg.conf setup. Any ideas on where the button for single
screen is hidden
If you're using Gnome, there's a "displays" option in the system
settings set of configurators, or a "screen resolution" item in one of
the system menus, in it is a "mirror displays" option, which really
means both displays show the same as each other, rather than showing a
mirror (backwards) image.
Most of these things are easy to find if people just look at the menus.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
