Login from the terminal mode console you found. Use command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg


will create new settings for Xserver. You should be able to accept all
default values to the prompts. I think either --priority=medium or
--priority=high will just auto-generate the configuration without asking
you anything (same as a fresh install)


I recently had a very similar situation. dpkg-reconfigure was the solution
for me as well. If you're a stickler for detail, like I am, you may want
to answer all of those prompts with the specific values your monitor uses.
You should be able to find them in the specifications section of your
monitor's manual, near the back.

If you've already run the command with the default values, that's okay. You
can run dpkg-reconfigure as often as you want. Just remember you'll have to
restart your X-server after you run it.
