Can you still jump to tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and login from there? That way
you you may also read the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to get any clue.
If that's not possible, you can try to boot with a LiveCD and watch the
error from there.
Anyway, what is your VGA card, display type (LCD or CRT) and input
connection (VGA -analog- or DVI -digital-)?

Hum... not sure if that message can be related to the "out-of-range"
problem :-?
