You don’t have time to be depressed when you’re trying to fix xorg.conf. (yeah, I know, super dated reference, Linux is actually so good these days I can’t find an equivalent joke).
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… CRTs on fire from an xorg.conf typo… I configured display servers in the dark cause the screen was black… All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to switch to Wayland.
You haven’t lived until you’ve compiled a 3com driver in order to get token ring connectivity so you can download the latest kernel source that has that new ethernet thing in it.

Editing grub.cfg from an emergency console, or running grub-update from a chroot is a close second.
Adding the right Modeline to xorg.conf seemed more like magic when it worked. 🧙🏼
