Public bug reported:
If an error is made in editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the next time the computer
is started, X will not start.
This is not as user-friendly as it should be. While most people using linux are
experienced enough to fix this, some aren't and might urgently need access to
their computer.
If errors in the text configuration file (such as a misspelled variable in the
input section for the mouse in my case) prevent X from starting, the user
should be offered the option to reset the config to a default state that X is
likely to run successfully with.
