I just installed ubuntu and updated the nvidia drivers for my graphics cards (I have 3 monitors and I want them all to run) so after I did that, I went to the nVidia control panel to activate my second 2 monitors. I activated them and changed the positions to where I needed them to be, and it said I need to restart X Server for my changes to take effect and that I needed to save the changes to the x server config file. So I saved the changes to the config file, went to my terminal and did:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
it takes me to a blank screen with no terminal, just a blinking cursor in the corner, and stays there for about 10 minutes. until it comes up with
* Reloading SYSTEM LOG DAEMON...
and then that just stays there forever. How do I get x server to start again. I have no terminal, just a blank black screen pretty much. What do I do?
