[Metrik420]

Hi every one I'm Metrik and I am new to Linux. And could really use some help or just a point in the right direction. I have been try to fix the problem below with no luck and no help form any one. And I am at the point where I am running out of things to do. And things to search. Any kinda help would be great. And nice to see all of you.
Have a good day!


have to use (sudo lightdm) to get to the login screen. But when i hit alt-ctrl-f2 to go in and do it it says [1393.035961] [drm:drm_crtc_helper_set_config]*ERROR* faild to set mode on [CTC:6]. but it allows me to login n and run the command (sudo lightdm) and then it boots to the login screen. and does this every time i shutdown and reboot. or even if i just restart it. i had the same problem with ubuntu to that is why i came over to mint 12.
Any help would be great.
Thanks every one!

Press CTRL+Alt+Backspace to get to the login screen (save everything in you session you don't want to lose first), don't run lightdm commands.
