In a terminal, run
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
to lauch the X configuration script.

Assuming you have the fglrx driver at the moment, select the ati or
vesa driver when prompted. For everything else, keep the defaults. A
new /etc/X11/xorg.conf will be written, and the old one will be backed
up as /etc/X11/xorg<somedateandtimehash>.

Also, some punctuation may enable people to recognise your questions
as such. Try the "?" after sentences which you intend as a question.
