Reinstall, phew that is a murder, you can always go that route but where is the fun in that.
What happens when you run startx? You have to install xinit to have it btw. Run startx as root and your user. Install slim or xdm and see if you have the same issue. I have found a combination of factors like .xsession/.xinitrc and different display managers make a difference. apt-get purge xserver-xorg then reinstall it before you go scrapping the whole install. Why does your system see two GPU's? When you ran apt-get dist-upgrade did you choose to install the latest udev or not?
