I tried the xfix option and it didn't work, and you were right about it 
being a long list. I installed lots of things before I rebooted, and 
upgraded the kernal to the -13-generic from -11-generic.

The driver was "xorg-driver-fglrx" I did an "apt-get remove 
xorg-driver-fglrx" after that my system booted without any problems.

Thanks again;
