Within X, if the resolution doesn't produce a picture, try CNTL-[minus
sign] and/or CNTL-[plus sign] to switch among resolutions and refresh
rates.
If all else fails, try CNTL-ALT-Backspace to break out of X. Sometimes
that will help, other times you need to visit CNTL-ALT-F1 for a tty
session for additional troubleshooting.
Hope that helps.
