You have to install your video card drivers. If you have those installed you need to tell the config file which video drivers to use.

Which video card do you have. If you have nvidia the official Nvidia site has drivers for you.

I actually had similar but not exactly the same problem few days ago. My was when the system try to start the logon window it could not start. I was kind of expected the problem because when I install I could not find the exact monitor type (my was flat panel that there is exact driver yet). What I did to fix the problem was try to find a most close monitor type during the installation. It might not the same reason for your problem but you might wanna try.
