Ok, so im using Slackware 10.1 and i have a problem. For some reason my install of Slackware didnt work right and everytime i would log out of X it would take me to a black screen where the terminal should have showed up. To see whether or not it was truely going back to the Term. i would log out of x and then in the black screen type "startx" and it would flicker and then black again. Then i would do the ctrl-alt-backspace procedure to log out of X and it would again flicker and go black.
Now, here is the problem that i am having. I was in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and i was trying to play around with the drivers for the video output to see if that may have been a contributer to my problem. A friend of mine suggested that i switch the driver from "vesa" to "i810" i think it was. So, i did that, and then rebooted. All went fine untill i did "startx" it then came up with an error telling me that the driver was wrong or something like that and that i needed to change it back.
My question is, is how exactly do i change it back without going into X? I used Emacs to edit the file and im not sure how to do it from the terminal. If someone would please help me fix this so i can get it back to the "vesa" driver i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
