Tom, I can't be of much help, but I can tell you I had the SAME problem w/ the _none_ selection. I suggest to anyone not to click that!
You appear to be much more linux versed than I am, but I could at least get a terminal by typing: The Ctrl-Alt-F1. However, I struggled from there. I did some xrandr commands (?), but never did get the issue fixed and solved it by a re-install. If you would like some more info on the xrandr stuff, I can dig that up and send it to you, but my guess is you already ahead of me. Regards and good luck!
