Boot with failsafe Mint, when the shell loads type:
which make a backup of the xorg.conf file in your home folder. Then
Scroll down to "Section "Device"" and check with Boardname that this is your graphics card, change
Or use
And go through the steps there. And perhaps the easiest way to go, do a liveCD session work? If that is the case, just copy the working xorg.conf from the liveCD to your disk (usually mounted at /media/disk):
change /media/disk to the mount point of your root partition. If anything is unclear, I will try to explain them better. You could also post your video card for more specific help.
