Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, ~Daniel Ok, I added this into my xorg.conf file, I get the VGA signal output to the 2nd monitor, while rebooting, as soon as I get to the login screen the monitor isn’t getting any input from VGA output and goes into power saving mode.

Just wanted to make sure folks didn't go down a rabbit hole with that link. If you have an Intel card (you should be able to use lspci to find out), this won't work, but the latest Intel driver might. That driver did not work on my Dell 700m, just in case anyone is wondering. These instructions are for a laptop with an nVidia card and not for the Intel card that many Dell laptops use.
