  The OP was working on this answer when he encounters this problem. @jonderry I think it's better to give a little context to the problem you are having.

  If things was working properly before then chances are the newly created /etc/X11/xorg.conf is at fault. Try booting into single user mode and deleting the file.

  What drivers did you install? Do you have 'nomodeset' in your GRUB kernel parameters?

Sounds very much like there is a problem starting X, especially if you were messing around with xorg.conf.

Deleting xorg.conf should solve the problem, also you should check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors.

Since people may not be familiar with the grub boot. The below routine would help.

1. At boot up screen press and hold SHIFT key until boot selection menu appears.


2. Press a to change the kernel arguments.


3. Remove quiet splash if any and add single. Keep everything else intact.



4. Press enter to boot. Now you should be able to log in to the machine




5. Locate the xorg.conf file and delete it. rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf



6. reboot

Since you didn't save the last boot option, no need to modify at boot menu again.
