Wanted to decrease the sensitivity of my touchpad and have the setting remain after boot up. Follow this suggestion (caveat: I added two "Options" lines for Finger sensitivity and noise cancellation), I made an xorg.conf file.

Now on boot up, I arrive at a black screen with a cursor that is not blinking. I briefly see the Xubuntu start page before it goes black, but then nothing.

For reference, I'm dual booting Xubuntu 14.04 and Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 1550.

Try to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 after you boot in Ubuntu. The combination launches tty console, you may recover configuration.

  • The OP probably used a GUI editor to change xorg and may not know a text based editor. If possible you could improve your answer with simple instructions to start, open file, edit, save and quit a text based editor. Then to restart xorg or sudo reboot from the console. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Sep 19 '16 at 10:17
