Did you upgrade it recently? Try to rename xorg.conf file.
In case it doesn't work, attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log file here.Code:cd /etc/X11 mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.n
Post the output of this
Check Hard disk for errors too.Code:lspci | grep -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
