This starts the Xorg config process.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg sudo xinit -- :2
Look for errors:
tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Restart all servers by bouncing XDM (or gdm or kdm):
sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start
This starts a new X server -- usually on tty8 or tty9 (CTRL-ALT-F8). You can go back to the original X server by pressing CTRL-ALT-F7.
