Hi Gents,<BR>
<BR>
Thanks all for the input. <BR>
I managed to get it up and running now.<BR>
What I did was that I interrupt the boot process by pressing "delete" button. Then I press "a" to modify the selected kernel. Then I added "s" or "1" to enter the single user mode. From there I can restored back the xorg.conf file as root.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
Tri<BR>
