Hi,

I was experimenting with the monitor configurations, and now when I
boot I can't start in graphical mode! I am taken back to a text-only
login, and if I login and try 'startx' I get the error below. One of
the things I tried was to try to allow for a normal crt monitor along
with the laptop screen. Is that the problem? How do I get back to
normal???

Thank you very much!

I put here both the error and the config file:

# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
