I first tried to fix the system by deleting xorg.conf, since it was the only file the commands said they had changed. When turning on my computer an error appeared that it couldn't log in, a white screen with an image and message that I don't recall what said.
It wasn't the black screen that represents the system thinking to log in (how it would stay infinitely), it was an error screen. I restored the file to its nvidia configuration because I went to sleep and wanted things to be left out as they were when the problem arose. The next day I logged in as root, purged every single package that had "nvidia" in its name, since I knew one of them was doing something that was screwing with more than just the "xorg.conf" file and rebooted. It didn't reboot to regular OS, it reboot to only having the shell, not a graphics interactive because it didn't detect the screen. Went in to the folder containing "xorg.conf" and changed it back to the original one (blank), for some reason the purging didn't touch this file. Then restarted again and it logged in fine.
