Xserver error on linuxmint after startup. way to get rid of it?


I have liinuxmint and recently my screen came off. The pins did bend, so I bent them back. their straight and they fit in.

But now, it says x server error. It loads well until the desktop appears.

Well now I have the disk in, and it loads perfectly. What do I do next?

Change something in the startup file to load console only? Then repackage xserver?
Please someone help me

Your monitor came unplugged, and the pins got bent. You 'bent them straight' but it won't start X now. Yet you see a text console on boot.

First, check your work. There's probably a problem there. The lead can be replaced without having to buy a new monitor. Try your lead in your mate's monitor. Then we will start thinking.
