Hi,
I was experimenting with the monitor configurations, and now when I
boot I can't start in graphical mode! I am taken back to a text-only
login, and if I login and try 'startx' I get the error below. One of
the things I tried was to try to allow for a normal crt monitor along
with the laptop screen. Is that the problem? How do I get back to
normal???
Thank you very much!
I put here both the error and the config file:

# Option "XkbLayout" "de"

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
