This used to happen to me every time I would install a new version of MD. Live and learn after x number of times (probably 10 for me) and I eventually quit testing the xserver during install. Key here is, I never upgraded the monitor - those settings remain the same for each version of MD. Now I have the monitor specs kept within arms length and plug in the appropriate horizontal and vertical refresh rates each time, and avoid the xserver test. I just choose the custom setting during install and it provides fields for you to fill out - sorry I cannot be specific as to what that area of the install is like and what to look for, it's been awhile since that happened last. IRC though, I thought the xserver test eventually times out and puts you back to the install without freezing up. Again, been awhile so I don't know if that happens now or not. Warning though, be sure to plug in the correct values for your specific monitor. If you do not have them, go to their web site and search up their support area for your monitor. Unlike windows which trys to protect your system/monitor (can the word "protect" be in the same sentence as windows?) linux will allow you to fry the monitor at your discretion.
