Hi Jagadesh,
If you can execute Xconfigurator, when finish, try with "CTRL ALT +" and "CTRL ALT -"
Frank.

Re: unable to open display
One way out could be...
from your big X display type
or on the system console keybaord
Then login as root and from there type
#init 3
#! this normaly put to in level 3 (no xdm applic and network started, so automatic X start)
from there you can run modify adapt run again your X configuration .
start x by-hand typing startx ... etc.
If you want level 3 as default level for next reboot modify the following line in /etc/inittab
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:
I f want to keep level 5 as default just invoke level 5 at the root prompt like
# init 5
This will should start X (xdm) for you and prompt you for username/passwrd
J-P
