I broke: usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf and now I can't login. The screen just stays black.

How can I fix this? (I have little experience working command line and I can't seem to edit that file to undo what I did. Nor can I delete it.)

I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-input-synaptics but that didn't work.

I'm no expert, but I couldn't leave a fellow Lubuntu user stranded.

This post maybe of help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150319&page=2

worth trying, thanks to Pastalavista, -


sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg


sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg


sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
