I (stupidly) just unchecked the option to "allow users to login via GUI" and now I get a prompt when I boot into ubuntu. This is fine, my problem is when I type sudo X and type in my password I get an X as my cursor and my computer sits there idle. How can I re-enable X to start up again?
Help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Darfk.

And if you type:

sudo startx
what happens?
