Well, it's happened. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but my xorg crashed. I tried restoring from a backed up .conf file, but I still get the same error report in the output of the xorg log:
Code:
No screens found
So, how do I:
1) Make a new "empty" (default settings) xorg file?
2) Do something else (short of reinstalling the system) to resolve the issue?
Can you post more of the error? That isn't really the most helpful part Putting /var/log/Xorg.0.log into a pastebin somewhere with a link would be even better

could you also post a copy of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please
I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again and manually selected "fglrx" this time, thinking maybe the ati driver had been selected wrongly somehow.
As this may have changed the log, below is a link to the latest log as well. (I didn't run a compare, because I couldn't remember the terminal command to output the differences between two text files.)
