If you can get to a tty# and it is functional, you shouldn't need to restart the entire system. Try just restarting X: rcxdm restart Substitute your chosen displaymanager for xdm.
In modern systems that would be systemctl restart .... The last parameter is a YMMV thing. For me its "xdm.service". It may be "display-manager.service". It may be "gdm.service". I can't peer over your shoulder and tippy-tappy at your keyboard to find out, but if you run "systemctl --all" when the system is running you'll get a complete listing of all the units. Yes, overwhelming, I know, but you'll find the relevant one there .... somewhere. I did. No need to reboot. Just restart what is necessary. Systemctl and the way units are written takes care of things like dependencies :-) Yes I know there are people who are even more of a dinosaur than I am and refuse to admit that the systemd tools and facilities are here to stay and are the future, but that's the way it is.
