Hi Craig,

You could try replacing the monitor/screen part in your xorg.conf file 
with what I will add here. It worked for my Fujitsu/Siemens.
If your hardware is..
VendorName  "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]
  BoardName   "771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter"

Try it anyway it may just work??

Make copy of your xorg.conf.
Replace the part mentioned.
Reboot.
Should it not work it will boot in console then replace with origanal.

Here follows the lines...
