At the login prompt type linux 3
hopefully you are using LiLO for the bootloader,
if you're using grub then select failsafe and it will take you to a
text login
from here you can type Xconfigurator and strt experimenting with monitors,
graphic cards, resolutions,etc.
Make sure that you answer 'NO" to the question about a graphical login, until
you get this thing resolved
