borked xorg
i messed with the video settings of ubuntu, shutdown and then went off to a client. i open up the computer and i get a console and a note that some settings doesn’t work and that the xserver has to be shutdown.
grrrr… sorry about that bam. really.
i found out that i had to re-autodetect the video card using:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and i got the gui back after a reboot.
it may be a good idea to have a “safe” xorg configuration file for use at a later time when things go bork again:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.safe
so if x decides to take a little vacation just copy back the “safe” config.
