screen color distortion after xrandr

greets!

I was trying to get a second monitor (a tv) to work using xrandr. I 
noticed that the screen on the laptop would suffer severe, almost 
'psychedelic', effects if I hit a certain setting.

unfortunately I don't recall the setting but the ill effect was 
consistent and rendered the disply nearly unreadable. and the only 
solution was to end the session.

then by accident I hit the 'save this configuration' key and now the 
setting is permanent.

btw I created a second user and it doesn't suffer from the problem.

I cannot find a way to restore the proper display setting.

I have been told there is no way to save configuration built into 
xrandr so (I guessed) the configuration must be stored by the 
TDERandRtray application. but I don't see anything in 
'/root/.trinity/share/config/tderandrtrayrc' and besides, if there 
were, it should affect the second user too.

it's an Asus Zenbook with Intel HD graphics.

I am considering shifting to the second user and grappling with the 
UID and GID changes though I ultimately want to resurrect the original 
username.

thank you for any help.

f.
