Hi... I think I have screwed up majorly. I managed to get gdm going and now x server starts after fiddling with the xf86config-4 file. But now, my keyboard and mouse arent recognized. ! No input is read. So as Linux boots up I am taken to the GDM screen and cant really do much after that, other than rebooting. ! Is there a way at boot up, so that I can make it go the terminal screen to edit the xf86 config file ? Please advise.
