Distro? Redhat has redhat-config-xfree86 which works well reconfiguring things. if you are having a problem starting it up then backup your config file with 'mv /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config.backup'
Then try 'redhat-config-xfree86' Mandrake has 'drakconf' that will allow you to change this. Debian has 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86' You might be having a problem getting to a console login, and if that is the case remember that 'ctl-atl-f1' will get you a console login. (Actually the funtion keys f1-f6 will give you different logins, f7 is the graphical login) maybe none of this is working, in which case you'll probably need to use the rescue mode on your linux distro, or a knoppix cd.
