I messed up something with xorg but I can't remember what file I edited (i had just copy-pasted from a forum post here about making a samsung monitor work with correct resolution). Now when I try to log in, the screen goes black and it just brings me back to the log in screen. I can enter console only mode.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.
I've looked around the net for similar problems but no solution I've tried has fixed it... including reinstalling xorg-xerver, ubuntu-desktop, or resetting configs.
Here's my xsession-errors, if this will help diagnose my problem.

I cannot answer your question about repairing the damage, but perhaps I can locate the problem(s).
In addition to the many Compiz errors, which I do not believe is the problem, there is also this:
Code:
Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.
The problem is that there is supposed to be a file or directory called usershare in /var/lib/samba.
It is also telling you to enable user sharing, which I assume requires said file.
You must create this file or directory. That is all the help I can give. I have no idea what the contents are supposed to be.
