Fix for Linux Mint 16 live USB not loading X Server on my Asus F102B notebook. When I tried to run the live USB and get to the desktop I get the error,
Failed to start the X Server
I then click no to it generating the error logs and let it drop to a shell prompt.
in shell I typed:
sudo killall Xorg (this failed but do it anyways in case it is running)
sudo Xorg  configure
sudo cp /home/mint/xorg.conf.new /etc/xorg.conf
startx
if startx fails try
sudo reboot

It should load the desktop so you can now proceed to wipe out Windows and install Linux Mint.

FYI- in order to boot the USB, in the bios you will need to create a new boot option. I called mine EFI, I then pointed it to the /EFI/BOOT/grub64.efi file on the USB drive. I then made it the first boot device.
The initial install usb was created with unetbootin.
