Boot from the CD and get the screen you want then mount the partition containing / and copy the X config file.

Code:
sudo mount /dev/hd?? /mnt/hd??
sudo cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4  /mnt/hd??/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Replace the ?? with the drive letter and partition number once copied reboot to the new settings you may also want to backup the file before you overwrite. sudo cp /mnt/hd??/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/hd??/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.original
