Something else you may want to try:
1) Shutdown your system for maintenance if possible (otherwise stop X 
from running)
2) Save a copy of your /etc/X/xorg.conf file somewhere (other than in 
/etc/X)
3) Remove the 'xorg.conf' file in /etc/X
4) run dexconf ('man dexconf' to see what this command does)
