Maybe is missing x11-xserver-utils

sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils

I have studied the Xorg.0.log file, but it seems i cant find the problem.
I have downloaded X.Org User documentation, i will study it and see if i cant solve the problem,
but i will first run the commands you proposed and see if they fix the problem.

My screen went black after installing all the packages suggested, and can't login.
I was thinking of running trisquel live, mounting my home folder to recover my stored documents,
and do a re-install. thank you all for your assistance, i feel i have learned a lot even thou
my problem was not fixed.
