Default Cannot read, messed up my screen mode

Hi,
I have been reading quite a lot and please, don't tell me to search for resolution because I did and all I found is that I should search for resolution.

I have installed MPLAYER last night. I was running fine except that when I use the command to stretch the movie to use the whole screen it becomes very slow and out of sync audio/video.

I figured that my resolution was too high so I decided to use 480i instead of 1080i by modifying the kboot.cfg

Now, when I reboot, my screen is completely unreadable, I see tree huge mouse pointers and cannot run anything. The video mode is wrong. I was able to reboot in the game OS but I would like to get YDL fixed.

Questions:
1- How can I start YDL in command line only to be able to edit my kboot.cfg file without having the GUI?
2- From the GUI, is there a way to switch back to default video mode?
3- Any hot key for this because I cannot see where the mouse is going so I cannot open a console and type a command?
4- Any hotkey to open the console?

This is a lot of questions but If you can answer any one of them it will certainly help me. I have searched these forums for hours but I cannot find any of these answers. Thanks in advance.
