Wild stab in the dark... The install is using a different resolution to X
normally and the screen can't handle X's higher resolution? Try running
through the resolutions in X with <Ctrl><Alt><NumPad +/-> to see if any
work. 

In the resolutions which run off the screen, can you scroll around within
them with the mouse? (ie, they're not virtual desktop sizes. I'd doubt it,
but worth a check)

Run the X setup program? ;)
I think it's XF86_Setup. Or if you can force the X server to use the
lower-res mode then it might solve it.

HTH,

Bernard.
