When I have video problems, I fall back to a Generic CRT or LCD with low
resolution and Generic Video Card with a small amount of video ram (4MB
or so). These should be options in system-config-display, which you can
run from the command line.

That should get your system useable enough to try googling for your
video card and monitor to see if anyone else has expereienced the same
problem. Can't give better advice than "poke at it until it submits"
without more info.
