This stays on the screen. Every 20 seconds the whole screen goes black then the writing comes back.
It doesnt get any further than this.
That will be your display manager trying to start X, failing for some reason, and then trying to start it again.
Hop on to a virtual console, stop the display manager, then start X manually as root to see what the problem is. Most likely you'll need to change the graphics driver.
