Do you have LILO installed? If so, does it come to a prompt? If so,
you can type 'linux single' (where 'linux' is the name of your kernel)
to boot into single-user mode (no X-server). Here you can edit your
XF86Config-4 or run XFree86 -configure and get your new monitor to work.
If LILO doesn't come to a prompt or you have grub, you can switch
virtual consoles when the X-server starts. The X-server usually runs on
VC7. You can hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to your first virtual console.
