Have you tried editing your xorg.conf file as root?

I'm not sure what distro or desktop environment you are running, but rather than mess with your xorg file, maybe you can try to login in "safe mode" and reset your video settings to their defaults, then log back into regular mode.

While you are log in safe mode, you can issue that command:
It will ask for a couple of basic questions (if you don't know the answer to one, just leave blank or default). Then reboot in normal mode, you should be good to go.Code:xorgconfig
