ctrl+alt+F1 (virtual console window)
log in as root
change the XF86Config file
ctrl+alt+F7 (X window)
ctrl+alt+backspace (kill X server)

On my system, X automatically starts when it's been killed. If this is not the case on 
your system, you can:
- start X manually OR
- change to runlevel 3, then back to runlevel 5 (I think it's also possible to reinit 
runlevel 5, but I can't
remember how) using init 3 and init 5 OR
- reboot
