It seems that the driver has not been properly removed - did you let Envy reconfigure x? That's absolutely necessary
Options
You can edit xorg.conf so that the driver is "vesa"
You can reconfigure x and hope that solves it
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
You can start Envy from the command line
If you use "Recovery mode" you are root and must either reboot or type exit to continue

Try

"sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf"

or

"sudo vi /etc/x11/xorg.conf"

Ok but how do i edit xorg when gedit won't load up
There is always Recovery mode (and the editor of my choice there is nano) but as I stated you are root and leave it either with exit or a reboot
You can run both
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
and
Envy
in Recovery mode (no sudo as you already are root)
