How to repair a broken xorg.conf.
 

So I had f'ed up my xorg.conf apparently. Full story and explanation here: http://linuxtravels.blogspot.com/2006/12/i-wtfed.html

After a little playing around I was able to get it working again.

If xorg goes completely whack on you try this combo:

From terminal:
sudo dexconf

then

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg


Hope this helps someone thats having problems.

not sure how this is supposed to help anyone not using debian...

Maybe that should tell you something about the distro you are using.

/ignite distrowars

I'm j/k btw.

I'm sure some out there will find it useful and thats why I put it here.
