restore xorg.conf

I agree I did a dumb mistake....

I'm using the latest release of FC.

With the intention of installing nvidia driver on my laptop I edited the xorg.conf (created a back up) as per the instructions on the nvidia site. Instead of shutting down the X by switching to a text console, I rebooted the machine by mistake. Now the kernel hangs after "Configuring Kernel Parameters". Is there a way to restore the xorg.conf file? Using the rescue cd or installation cd without reinstalling.

with rescue cd it's really easy.

just boot, and your root directory ( / ) will be mounted under /mnt/sysimage
do what ever you want and then type exit
