Next, maybe a tutorial on how to properly write resolutions? I used the "cp" instead of "mv" so I still have a good backup of my .failsafe file Thanks again! Thank you.

After installing Xubuntu decided to use a totally non standard H/V rate (the laptop's TFT showed a quarter of the desktop in the bottom right hand corner of the screen with bits of the rest of the desktop in the wrong places, and when plugging in an external monitor that just come up with the message "Attention! Incorrect Horiz / Vert Frequency". I then booted up Knoppix which worked fine (which I would use if Knoppix included the drivers for the AccessRunner USB ADSL modem, but unfortunatly it doesnt!), and copied /etc/X11/xorg.conf into /mnt/hda1/etc/X11/xorg.conf replacing the existing file. I thought this should work - oops nope I was wrong - all I got when rebooting with Xubuntu is it keep whinging that it's missing the default font "fixed", tried # out all the references to fonts - nothing, tried deleting Xorg.conf - same problem, tried to use dbpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure it still the same problem. In the end have given up and resorted to re-installing the entire linux distro again (grr...), this method does seem a really good way, but by using the CP command in another linux unfortunatly it over-wrote the xorg.conf file without bothering to create a backup (oh well I've learned from my mistake - keep xorg.conf safe!

Kubuntu would work great for a few days and then for no reason boot into a command line mode. I searched the internet for a while, but I couldn't find anything that restored my GUI, until now.
