hi there. i'm having a huge problem: i changed my icon theme yesterday and then i turned my computer off. When I tried to turn it on again, kubuntu goes to the password screen, but when i put my password, it gives me a black screen and then goes back to the password screen (i'm 100% sure i'm putting the right password, btw). i tried logging into the failsafe mode, which lets me go to the terminal, but i don't know what to do. please help?

p.s.: my videocard is an ati randron express 200, if it helps.

sorry for double posting, but i think i just found out what caused the problem. i had compizengine on, and i think my videocard can't take it, because when i tried to put it back on, my computer crashed the same way it was doing before.
