When X is trying to start up (with the LCD plugged in) you can hit
CTRL-ALT-F2 which should take you to a secondary login in text mode; if
you can get to that, login in text mode and then after logging in, run
/usr/sbin/XFdrake - and change the monitor settings; probably a good
idea to reboot after doing that (on the command line, type "reboot") -
then ya should be good to go from there.
