Pi no longer responds to inputs!

The font size in the menus was bugging me because the BW screen im using makes it difficult to read tiny fonts.

I followed http://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=159 to try and increase the font size. I set it to 0.8, saved the document, and rebooted. Now my pi boots to the command prompt and neither my controls or usb keyboard are doing anything!

Before it goes to the command prompt it flashes this for like half a second. Had to take a video of it then snap the frame it popped up to even get it.

i'm guessing since i cant SSH into this one (no W or dongle) i'm probably stuck reflashing the memory to fix it?

edit: Managed to find a way to get back into the command prompt before it attempted to load emulationstation and my keyboard works when i do that. Changed the font value back to normal and rebooted. Now it just says "Segmentation fault" after it tries to load the emulationstation, kicks me to the command prompt, and again my keys dont work.
Bah....

I cant shell into it as it has no wifi and i have no compatible dongles.

I managed to remedy it by replacing the carbon.xml file. I must have altered something by accident because this time when i set the font it worked, and now i can actually READ lol.

Your info is definitely useful though i'll bookmark that for later. The amount of issues im having because i dont have wifi is insane...must use pizw next time... Thanks
