Try connecting a lower-resolution monitor and see if it works, if you
have one.

I have found that my dual 2560x1440 monitors, connected with DVI->HDMI
cables, are not capable of 2560x1440 I believe this is due to limits of
DVI. However the monitor and/or the card does not realize this and
reports 2560x1440 60Hz as the "preferred" mode.

I have a ATI Radeon HD 5870 card.

If I connect one monitor with an HDMI cable I can see the console. With
two monitors connected with DVI->HDMI I do not. I have to do a "blind"
login then run "startx" and all is well.
