Thanks for responding Andrew. I appreciate the assistance.

ctrl-alt-bksp only helps recovery prior top unchecking mirror displays.
After that, ctrl-alt-bksp leaves me with either 2 black screens or a
blacked out monitor and oscillating/flickering LCD.

Xrandr LCD only

 $ sudo xrandr
Swipe your right index finger on UPEK TouchStrip
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 4096 x 4096
LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm
