Re: Is there a graphical 'safe mode'?

But in case you couldn't do it that way, Ctrl/Alt F1 should bring up a
text mode screen and then you can login and edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
or /etc/X11/xorg.conf or whatever your version of the file is called.

Even that does not always work! I have had cases of the kernel using
Framebuffer console and when changing monitors have the monitor
display a 'frequency out of range' message when booting. Luckily
manually entering a command line at the Grub prompt fixes it.
