The first things to check are the error messages and warnings in the Xorg log file. Run the following command and post its output: egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log Since you seem to have a problem with the config file and/or the default settings, I would also like to see the results of: egrep '^\((==|\*\*)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log Also tell us how exactly you start X. From your message I get the impression that you use a graphical login manager, but which one?
