Where did you make the change?
- In displays or in a config file???


So... With the screen all twisted (is what I'm assuming)...

Log in to the desktop... Give a sec to load...

Launch terminal with the keys:
Code:
CTRL ALT T

You will be within terminal - don't click around...


type...
Code:
xrandr -s 800x600


Your resolution should change to a 800x600 screen...
You can now launch DISPLAY (type from menu) to change resolutions..


This is a bit convoluted - but it may be the simplest...
