It looks like someone else had the same problem, but no solution:

Have you tried to see what Knoppix brings up? Have you tried it with the
vesa driver? Obviously a short-term solution, but results may instruct.
Actually the driver matters for this -- on my laptop X will only start
when the resolution is set to that of the LCD, but with a VESA driver it
works at different reolutions.
