Can you please try rebooting, and select the second kernel (recovery
mode). Then select the xfix option on the next screen, let xfix do it's
thing, then select the first option on the list to resume the normal
boot. If that doesn't work, then once into the desktop open a terminal and:

gksu displayconfig-gtk
