    [SOLVED] Messed up something on xconf



    and now I can't log into my desktop. I made some changes to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and I must have entered something wrong...
    When I start up fedora, I get error messages, and am taken to a commandline, but not exactly sure where to go from there.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    What are the exact error messages? Undo the changes you made or run "system-config-display --reconfig" as root.

    Excellent! Five minutes after reading that, I'm able to log in to my system again...thank you very much for your help, you probably just saved me from having to do a reinstall.

    I'm surprised you found that so fast; I searched through the forums for at least a half hour before giving up and starting a thread....I
