12.04 - Installed some new software and added a user, now my first user crashes X and can't login

I am running Xubuntu 12.04. I installed dogecoind and made a new user called dogecoin. My first user, james, used to be the only one. It used to be set to auto log in. Now I have a choice between my two users and guest. If I try to login as james the screen flashes black and resets, then sends me back to login. I can still login fine with the others.




I can login to james through SSH where I tried to reset my x config files. It didn't seem to help.



sudo aticonfig --adapter=all -f --initial


It says:

Uninitialised file found, configuring.

Using `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`
Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-6


pacman -Qi linux says:

I am trying to use two graphics cards, but I can't even login!
