How Can I reset xserver xorg to default settings to try, and avoid crash and log out after log in?

[Hugh Caley]

Just a thought, but the first thing I do when trying to solve an X 
problem is reboot the machine in runlevel 3 (and tell /etc/inittab to 
use 3 as the default).

Then, you can modify your X settings (making a copy of xorg.conf 
beforehand, natch), and start X with the startx command; then it'll 
either come up or it'll fail and maybe leave you with a useful error 
message.
