Start by removing the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if it works.
(By "removing" I mean the standard safe practise: rename it to
something else, perhaps even move it somewhere else, in case you need
to put it back again later.)
Just an FYI, but I had to do:
mount -o remount,rw /
since in 12.04 when you go in to recovery mode and select go to root it is read only. *I mv'd the conf file to /root and rebooted and that worked. *Thanks!
I tried to use ctrl-alt-f1 to get a console to log in to, but that didn't work. *I tried all the ctrl-alt-f1 f2 f3, none worked.
How do you get a console when X11 is running?
