Re: X window

Alt-Ctrl-F1 should take you back to the first virtual console (and 
Alt-Ctrl-F2 to the 2nd, etc).  You should be able to log into a text
console there and edit /etc/X11/XF86Config by hand or run XF86Setup or
the like

Now my system boots straight into the X window system and I can't do anything. I've tried Ctrl-Alt-Backspace but all it does is take me back to the login screen.  Is there anyway I can get back to the text interface so I can configure my mouse correctly?
