Update on the problem: it seems the bug might be in GDM. I installed KDM, then did a `/etc/init.d/kdm start` from recovery mode, and it loaded up fine into GNOME. Now, doing `/etc/init.d/gdm start` results in the same unresponsive black screen I first reported. Do GDM and KDM differ in how they handle display drivers, maybe in what defaults they use? Perhaps KDM uses less aggressive display settings as default?
