Do you know what video card it has?  Switch to a virtual console 
(ctrl-alt-F3 should work) and then check out /var/log/XFree86.0.log or 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log depending on what version you're running.  If you 
can't figure out what's going on there, post the contents of the log 
file and we'll go from there.
