1) Install the nano editor if it is not already installed:

#sudo apt-get install nano

2) edit the xorg.conf file and verify or remove/comment out the modeline again

3) reboot or restart X

I got a x11 crash. Now I have no GUI what so ever. The read out said that the command "Modeline" was unknown. Is there something I'm missing in your instructions? Because as of right now I am missing my GUI for Ubuntu entirely. Any help from anyone would be great. I tried using the steps you provided but when I rebooted Ubuntu. I got a x11 crash.

I can't edit xorg.conf as I keep running into permission problems which I seem unable to resolve. How do I log on as Root when I don't know the password?? Help!
