X wont start!

In rare occasions (such as after a VMware tools install, or when using unsupported Video cards), X will refuse to start. If that happens you have several options you can try in order to fix the issue:

 Reconfiguring the X server package, you can reset (and often fix) Xorg configurations with the following command:

root@bt:~# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

 If you are using Backtrack 5 on x64 with KDE you should try the following:

root@bt:~# rm /root/.kde/cache-*
