How to rescue your Xorg-Server in a “worst case” scenario?
December 20th, 2007Several years ago, I was a Linux beginner as like most people were at one point in their lives.
I had just installed SuSe 9.0 for the first time, and the problem was that my ancient ATI Radeon 9000 (an old graphics card) didn’t stop bitching around: I just couldn’t manage to install and configure it properly, and ATI didn’t help their users, too.
So we had no real working drivers except several tutorials on “How to Configure your Xorg-Server with an ATI Card” …
I tried to follow them step by step, but I always made a tiny mistake which f*cked up my xorg.conf and thereby my whole system.
It was horrible because I wasn’t able to recover it via console those days due to the famous lack of Linux skills. 
Again, if you’re running Ubuntu or Debian, use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in order to re-setup your graphic devices and monitor etc.
It’s an easy guided process and the developers even proposed that they’ll make it a lot easier in the future releases of Ubuntu!
