When they are black on the keyboard blindly use the keys CTRL+ALT+F1

Now Blindly Log in
enter Password

Now blindly excecute:


sudo bash

Xorg -configure

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

service gdm start

And it should work

When you press CTRL+ALT+F1 you will be faced with a terminal. Or... You should When you press them blindly (without looking) put in the codes. Have complete trust in your keyboard.
