Edited xorg.config > No graphicals.

[Infinity]

A friend of mine (very new to linux) tried to change his xorg.config file because he was unable to get a higher resolution etc. and he changed it from this:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 28-49
VertRefresh 43-72
EndSection

To this:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "AOC 7F"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30.0 - 72.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 130.0
EndSection

And now it´s messed up.

Please help him out cause I´m out of ideas.

Just run "xorgconfig" as root and answer the questions asked by the script to let it create a new xorg.conf file that is right for the system. That should do it.

I'm guessing you would have re-edited xorg.conf to it's previous state except that when you boot you can't see anything? It a good idea to make your system boot to text (runlevel 3) when you want to modify your xorg.conf, just in case things don't go well.

If you can't read the screen, you may be able to get to the text console with ctrl-alt-F3 where you can edit xorg.conf with a text editor. You system should have one or more of the following (if you don't have a preference, try these in this order):joe, nano, pico, mc (and then F4 to edit), emacs, vi. Read about vi before you try that.

If you can't get to the text screen with ctrl-alt-F3 or F4 or F5, and you use the Grub bootloader, you may be able to use the boot parameter 'single' to get into the system for this.

To boot to the text screen by default, edit /etc/inittab by changing the line which reads 'id:5:initdefault' and change the 5 to a 3: 'id:3:initdefault'.
