After I setup the xorg.conf for dual monitor, the startup became extremely slow. Once I type in the user name and password, it just blacks out with just the mouse cursor still visible. This remains for about 3-4 minutes and then I'm in. I thought it was my X file, so I overwrote the xorg.conf with my original file and restarted my X. Sadly, it still does that. What could be causing it? Do I have to reinstall video driver or something?
