I have been unable to get X to start back up in a usable form.  It seems to
startup, but I can't see anything except a black screen.  I tried renaming
the /root/xorg.conf.new file it created to be rick.rick.new so it wouldn't
load, but that didn't seem to make any difference.

I can boot into OpenIndiana right now, but all I get is a text-based
console window.  X seems to be broken, but I don't know how to undo
whatever the "Xorg :0 -configure" command did, because renaming the
xorg.conf.new to rick.rick.new didn't do it.

Any thoughts?

Best regards,
