Which video settings did you change? Do you see text on the screen at all?

It sounds like you may have edited xorg.conf which would prevent X Windows from starting. If this is true, you should still have some sort of display - probably text only. If this is true, you should be able to hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and get to a text login screen. From there, you should be able to restore your xorg.conf settings by logging in as root.

If you aren't getting a display at all, it's possible you were editing yaboot.conf . This can be fixed, but it's much trickier. There's steps here: viewtopic.php?t=3097
