Linux - Xserver recovery

Did you ever come across a situation wherein you played with the display settings and the next time you reboot to the system the Display is blank and you were helpless but to stare at the blank monitor?

Solution:
  • Press CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+ALT+F2
  • Hit the Enter key couple of times..
  • Provide root credentials
  • Delete the file /usr/X11/xorg.conf
  • Reboot the system
Viola! The display is back. with a new xorg.conf file.
