I edited both to configure compiz, but I made a mistake…Now it says “no screens found” and that it’s “unable to connect to the X server” and goes to the kernel. I know what I did wrong, so how do I get to xorg.conf and Startup Programs from there to fix it? I’m using Debian Lenny…I have a Linux Mint Live CD if there’s any way to get to them from that.
Use vi to edit the file.
You don’t need X to edit a file with vi.
Learn a UNIX shell — you’ll be much more marketable if you know how to do things from a shell than if you’re GUI dependent.

If you don’t want to take the time to learn how to use vi or vim, nano is an easier solution, and comes installed on most distros.
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Works more like a notepad than vi does.
