You might want to go through the log and pay attention to the error
messages. For instance:

# (II) I810(0): Broken BIOSes cause the system to hang here.
#               If you encounter this problem please add
#                  Option "DisplayInfo" "FALSE"
#               to the Device section of your XF86Config file.

My guess is that the monitor is being set to a higher freq range than it
can handle when it returns from tty. My recommendation would be to force
it to 60hz and see if that fixes the problem.

Your monitor appears to support:

Timing characteristics
  VESA GTF support............ Not supported
  Horizontal scan range....... 24-83kHz
  Vertical scan range......... 55-76Hz
  Video bandwidth............. 140MHz
  Extension blocks............ n/a
  Timing recommendation #1.... 1280x1024 at 60Hz
      Modeline................ "1280x1024" 108.000 1280 1328 1440 1688
1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync

cdob, thanks, finally a answer that answers my question]

However, I was installing a Gutsy for my son this past weekend & he has
a Samsung LCD monitor. I was playing around with the freq ranges and
encountered exactly what your are experiencing: grey screen flickering,
etc., etc. I set the timings to 60hz and all worked well after that.
