What monitor are you using? The monitor and the video card must both be set up to match the sync, refresh rates, etc.

My advise would be to configure Linux to work without X and then after you are happy, get X up and running (as a stand along service).

I would never, personally, try to insure that the graphics work as a part of the initial install. I would perform the initial install, insure that is fine and they step-by-step work the complexities of getting the graphics up and tuned.
