    please help I can't login anymore SOLVED

    I followed a suggestion to try kcontrol to get dual monitor working. As a result, after restarting the xserver it gives me a resolution of 640x400 or something and i cannot get a normal resolution back. The nvidia settings screen does not let me see the control to set resolution because that window is way to big for the screen now. So I can't reach that control.
    I tried running krandrtray wich sets resulotion but it gives me nothing greater than 640x400 and so does system settings.
    I tried booting on command line and moving xorg.conf to some other place, thinking I would get the default kubuntu resolution back, no go.

    What can I do? Edit xorg.conf on the command line? If so, what editor do i use in bash. I am new to kubuntu, installed it only last week.

    I'm pretty much stuck on windows now and will check here every few minutes for tips.

    If yo can get to the terminal/command line, use this to rebuild your xorg.conf. If you don't know how to answer the questions, just go with the defaults.

    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

          Yeah I'm back!

          After sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I could log in to kde again where I was told to run nvidia-xconfig in konsole mode so I rebooted once again into bash mode, ran that command, and rebooted back in to kde and now decent again. pff

          Thanks MoonRise.
