I killed my GUI and Startx cant find a "screen"

I feel like an idiot. After months of forum joining, hopping, posting and prowling I finally found the answer

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
reboot
startx

That was it. But thanks for the help, guys.

To install the nvidia driver from the command line use

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Then reboot, X should start. If needed, you then run nvidia-settings to make any adjustments. Run it as root to save your settings

gksu nvidia-settings

To the folks experiencing this issue, but with ATI drivers, see the following

https://askubuntu.com/a/225563/515315

basically:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo Xorg -configure
sudo cp /home/XXXXXXX/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hope this helps someone
