@Zumps didnt show much, just my cpu not my GPU, what i could see. Is it suppose to do it?
I can do it again and take a picture if u like?
Thanks!
It was @spidernet that requested it. I don't know why. Maybe it furthers the diagnosis exactly because your GPU is not showing, not in spite of it.
Mine looks like this, but I'm on Intel HD 4000.

Wanted to check if he's using the correct drivers.
To purge fglrx drivers:
sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates

So, I don't know if this last line of when you tried to install xserver-xorg can lead us to the culprit, but can you post the output of this to see if you have held packages.
dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
If it doesn't have an output, you just report that.
Out of curiosity what happens if you type this command: startx and press enter?
Do you get the same error?
That would be amazing, but if xorg didn't install correctly last time it would be puzzling if it worked.
Yes it'd be. It could either be a MDM related problem or xorg related or GPU drivers related. It's really hard to troubleshoot these type of issues.
Yes indeed! But wouldn't MDM need xorg to work and not the other way around? And when xorg is not starting, then I'm thinking it's most likely the driver or xorg. Let's see if he gets any errors when (re?)-installing the correct drivers. If not then it's probably xorg and if it does show errors I can't imagine where that leads this XD
Yes, what MDM does is launch X. The full xorg log would help, there may be some more hints. We'll see I guess.
Okey.. dpkg --get-selections... gave nothing, then i removed the " | " and it said like:
{grep install
dpkg: no package found matching hold}
startx gave:
Ok, so same error and you've deleted the drivers right, did you install them back?
Aha okay, I think I had it upside down. Btw I think he did post the entirety of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

haha now i didnt!
Just to eliminate the noobines, how do i do that xD
Btw ill do that first, then mabe u two can tell me how to save the Xorg.0.log to my flash card or my windows drive/partion)
It can be done in a couple of ways, refer to this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Linux_Mint
Oh so you have windows on the same machine, convenient.
You check with lsblk where your windows partition is mounted (or a USB stick/flash card for that matter, doesn't matter).
The you type cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > /path/to/where-ever-you-want/xorg-log.txt
You can call it whatever you want.
Edit: oh and if you have a space in the name of your destination partition/drive, you just put it in "", so for example /media/ericssn/"Flash SD Card"/xorg-log.txt
Edit 2: and if it's not mounted, refer to this guide. https://askubuntu.com/questions/37767/how-to-access-a-usb-flash-drive-from-the-terminal-how-can-i-mount-a-flash-driv

Hello again guys hehe @Zumps @spidernet!
Now its up and running again, my linux is mint now :D
Thanks alot for the support, i cant thank you enoff!
After the drivers were installed it booted right up!
So any conclusions? hehe
It was funny, that from xorg error u let me in to the bootloader and back and forth!
Before today, i didnt know what xorg even was and ive been so much time in text mode...
Ive learned a lot from this! So i take away a lot from it...
Any way, thanks again!!
