You might as well have guessed by now the reason for the long hiatus from my previous post. I really messed up my X trying to install compiz on my machine. Compiz has got some real cool desktop effects like 3D cube which I decided to try out. But after I installed it and was all ready to check it out, the unthinkable happened. My X crashed! There I was staring at the blank screen and cursing myself. I should have remembered to
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
Since then I had been breaking my head trying to get my X working. Then I read somewhere ( courtesy kagesenshi ) that if you delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart, Xorg gets configured automatically. Duh! It was as simple as that!
