Here's a couple of other things to try.
Login at the command line as root and type setup. Try your X
configuration from there.
_And/Or_
cd to /etc/X11 and copy XF86Config-4 to XF86Config-4.bck then delete
XF86Config-4. I believe XF86Config is a template and XF86Config-4 is
the config file. If memory serves me, this may force a reconfig of X.
Sounds like your install of X might have abbended. You might just try a
re-install of Linux, reinstall X, and do not choose to boot to graphical
mode (imho).
Is this an old video card or a reasonably new one? You might try
skipping the auto-probe if you have an older graphics card.
Also, if you decide to re-install and get the little mini-screen when
you switch back out of video setup, you might try ctrl + alt + + or - to
see if you have any other available video modes to select from.
