You may want to bail on that idea, which will have you spending a lot
of time looking at BIOS memory test screens and boot message logs (or
splash screens, if your particular distro hides the boot messages), and
just boot up multiuser but with a console login. Then you can go through
rounds of "edit X11 config, run it, watch it fail, read errors, repeat"
until you get something that works well.
