Not necessarily. If the first image doesn't support initializing the
monitor chip, it will retain the configuration set by the other image.

You probably want to try the BIOS setup, and try to set/read just about
everything there is for it. That might reconfigure the monitor chip.

Otherwise you'll have to take a really close look at the boot scripts
you are using with the image that changed things, and figure out what
it does and how to counter it.
