X Server Broken After Restart
 
My distro is ubuntu, version 6.06, I'm not 100% sure of the versions of the X server...

I restarted my computer to boot into windows to test something with my printer, went to boot back into linux and the X server won't start. It is saying that it can't find any Devices or Screens...

Here is a copy of my xorg.conf file located in /etc/X11/.
Thanks for your help!.

Code:

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

it's not your fault, the bug was already fixed: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu...ver/+bug/57153

just run in the console after login:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart


(update the package list,
install upgrades (xserver-xorg-core)
restart the gnome display manager)
