This will bring you to the single user mode then you log in.
No, single user mode only has root as a user and doesn't have the full
OS running or any networking. When you go to a different console that
way, you're at a CLI (Command Line Interface) with the machine up and
running, including networking.
My suggestion is to log in there as root and use nano (a simple text
editor) to edit xorg.config. I suspect the error is using 1280x1024_60
as your mode instead of 1280x1024 because I've never seen it done that
way. Just put a pound sign (#) in front of each line you added, making
them comments, then save, exit and reboot. If nothing else, that will
get you back where you started.
