Sounds like the X config file is screwed up. You can try playing around with the xconfigurator, or whatever xorg's got. xfree86 used to have one that would give you a graphical screen, and ask if it worked, and you could play with it to get what you want, but I haven't found the equivalent in xorg.

When you do get it right, back up the xorg.conf file....
