Rebooted, touchpad is on, tried Systems Settings Display Apply and got
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR_2' on object at path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR
The external minitor did come up 1280x1024 as it was, so some improvement with touchpad on, CLI xrandr still works O.K. for the external monitor.
Turned off the laptop "full bright" monitor manually. I don't know CLI to turn off the laptop monitor.
Easy for me to reproduce if anyone has anything to try that I'm able to follow through on.
