If I break the xorg.conf file and I can't startup Ubuntu 12.04. How do I revert back to a backup xorg.conf file called xorg.conf.backup?

Figured it out.




  1. I had to boot into safe mode


  2. Click on the root command line option


  3. At the command line I typed: fsck to get the disk mount path


  4. Mounted the disk using the command mount -o remount <mount path from fsck goes here>


  5. Then I used cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf to restore the backup
