  • press ctrl+Alt+F1 while during the screen shows running in low-graphics mode.

  • Login with your username and password

  • Then run the below commands,

    sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo shutdown -r now

After reboot,you will get back to your default GUI.

  • I personally spent many moons on this silly stuff a while back. It seemed so unintuitive to me to just delete the xorg.conf file altogether. Seeing as in there are so many posts online regarding its configuration. Its a tough problem as if you really fudge up the file, often you can't login in without going into recovery mode, remounting the hard disk as root with r/w, and then edit/delete xorg.conf. That is unless you have ssh configured. – SunPowered Nov 16 '13 at 13:05
  • Thank you, but this method did not work .Look for this message rm: cannot remove ‘/etc/x11/xorg.conf’: no such fille or directory – osama Nov 16 '13 at 13:23
  • Then see the link posted by @braiam. – Avinash Raj Nov 16 '13 at 13:26
