If you'd added no vga= options in your /boot/grub/menu.lst file that
might be the cause, then I'd try booting into recovery mode and trying
option 4 (xfix) and see if using the automagic xorg will sort it out. Be
sure to back up your existing xorg files first.

Do you remember what you did in the dpkg-reconfigure debconf that may
have created the problem? Perhaps enabling framebuffers etc? Perhaps if
you do it again the menus will jog your memory.
