Unless you have 20 y/o CRT, your LCD/CRT will simply shut down if you try to use an invalid resolution/refresh rate. Some monitors will not display the OSD (E.g. Menu) when connected to invalid display source. Just disconnect the monitor from the machine and/or fix the X.org configuration and the menu will work just fine. - Gilboa
