Maybe you need to re-install the ATI driver? Running ENVY as root from a terminal should fix up the XOrg config file as well.

gdb is the GNU debugger ... you surely meant the gdm = GNOME Display Manager :wink:

you can use remastersys to create an installable livecd/dvd that will contain all your installed programs/patches and the contents of your home directory...

First - be 100% sure that a file you intend to delete can be deleted. If in the slightest doubt - rename it instead
Rename
Sudo mv oldname newname
Delete file
sudo rm file
Delete directory
sudo rm -r directory
the man command is your friend, but if you don't know the commands you're not helped that much, so this page that contains all the commands in bash is your friend:

It resets your xorg.conf file.

Your cube not rotating is not X committing suicide and you would not want to issue that command for this. Use that if you can't get into X at all, or if X itself (not Beryl) becomes unstable.
