    try logging in then run as root or sudo (I don't know which Mepis has)
    Code:
    cp xorg.conf xorg2.conf
    to make a backup (just in case) and run
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    It will ask you some questions. Once your done try running startx (or you can reboot and see if the gui comes up as normal).
