    [SOLVED] I can't get into my desktop!!

    it started when I was trying to mount an ISO so I could watch a movie in VLC. after I entered my PW, there was a white box left in the middle of the screen. I did not want to restart because I was downloading a file at the same time and did not want to have to restart that. So I was trying to find a way to refresh the screen without restarting and played around with the screens and graphics settings a bit. When that didn't work, I thought I put everything back the way it was, and restarted the computer.

    When I restart, I see a few failed attempts at different resolutions, then it asks for my login/PW. After I enter that it just goes to command prompt. I have no idea what to do with this. I do have my xorg.conf though.

    please help!!

    Code:
    # 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 xorg.conf manual page.
    # (Type "man 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
