When this has happened to me in the past, the cause was my trying to run a
mode that my monitor didn't support (illegal values for vertical or
horizontal sync, I forget which). One thing to check is if it occuers in all
modes (switch modes with CRTL-ALT-[Numeric Pad]+ and CRTL-ALT-[Numeric
Pad]-). If some work, recheck whether your monitor setting are consistent
with the hardware.
If this isn't the problem, we'll probably need to know
what kind of video card you have
which X server(s) you have tried
which version of XFree86 you have installed
