    You're going to need to do this...

    CTRL+ALT+F2

    Log in as 'root' with your password, and do the following:

    cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
    cat XF86Config > ~/test
    cd
    cat test|mail $$$YOUREMAIL

    Replace $$$YOUREMAIL with your real e-mail. Reboot and check your e-mail, if there is nothing there you may need to write the whole thing down :eek:
