Hey Apple, how bout a key combo that "unconditionally quits the frontmost app and returns the user to the Finder ideally in a safe monitor resolution " for OS X?

Keying blind really sucks serious ass. Just as a note, I am having this problem as well and am searching for whether there is a fix or not. Here is some info in case it helps us figure out the real fix: The odd thing is that the Display menu in the top menubar does seem to show the proper resolutions and refresh rates except that it is still missing x When in the Display panel, waiting a short time seems to return the display to its prior settings probably because of the timed save request.

I assumed from your original posting that none of those display settings would work. Glad you sorted things out. Apr 11, 6: I had same problem on my Macbook Air.

If I change it manualy to the default, it goes back to the blank screen whever I remove the external display connection. I tried restarted in safe mode and then setting up the settings to default.

Then I removed the external display resulting a blank screen again. But the teamviewer display on my iPhone told me the right story.
