accidentally restarted device with custom xorg.conf, now stuck on spinny tree
So I had these 3 files modified
/etc/xorg.conf
/etc/upstart/x.conf
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/cursor.pcf

I accidentally ran `reboot`, instead of `restart x`.

Now I'm stuck on the tree image, with the spinny circle.

It mounts USB just fine.

I don't know if it is doing a file system repair, or if X won't start, or something else.

The next thing for me to do is put the file 'DO_FACTORY_RESTORE' on the root, and start all over from scratch, right?

How long do you all suppose I should wait before doing that?
