I dont know if you have already solved your problem, but I have a suggestion that may help. WHen you load linux, if X starts automatically you can change runlevels from console. First press ctr-alt-f1 or any f, then as root type "telinit 3" to move to run level three. From there go to the X11 folder in /etc and run a configuration script named "XF86Config" or something like that. This has always worked for me, even in other OS's like FreeBSD. It will prompt you for your monitor, card information etc, just make sure you have a good documentation of your hardware like monitor vertical refresh rate, make-model-memory of video card etc. For the keyboard and mouse configurations the default options usually work. To start X again and test if your new configuration is correct type "startx" or "telinit 5" Sometimes after running the script you may want to edit it by had to choose default resolution and things like that...
