The Installation offered video mode in a checkbox fashion (
I.E. multiple
selections) and I *thought* I was on a different monitor and picked as
the highest resolution *too* high a resolution. My fault for looking at
another xorg.conf instead of the Monitor Manual.

X didn't start. The message appears to be coming from the monitor.
If the problem is related to your xorg.conf settings as implied above, then the problem is that X is overdriving your monitor, meaning that X did indeed start.
If X did not start, then you would've been in text mode, in which case it's unlikely you'd see this problem (unless you're doing some odd framebuffer stuff).
