Could be hardware, I suppose. Switch to a tty with CTL-ALT-F1. Login as a
user and get the video card data from the command 'lspci'.
While you are out of X ALT-F2 gives you another console to log in as
root and remove lightdm with
apt-get purge lightdm
Because I like to be tidy I'd now return the machine to a more or less
basic configuration
apt-get purge fonts* x11-* dbus xfce4*
followed by
apt-get --purge autoremove
Now
apt-get install xorg fvwm
and, as a user
startx
How does this go? If ok 'apt-get install xfce4' and 'startx'.
