hello

i also tried startx command and error returned is

waiting for X server to begin accpeting connections
giving up
xinit: Connection reset by peer (errno 104): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error

i also tried the command fglrxinfo and it says
Error: unable to open display (null)

does these shed some light into what kind of trouble i am in. I mean i would
really nto want to do a reinstall of ubuntu.
