Boot into single user mode and then examine /var/log/Xorg.0.log (you
might want to save it to a USB thumb drive or something like that so
that you can post relevant contents here).
To do that, either select the appropriate entry from the grub menu (you
should see it before the kernel gets loaded, the entry might be labeled
as "rescue" or something to that effect) or, if you don't see such an
entry, press 'e' when the menu appears and edit the line starting with
"kernel". Just append "1" to the line and press "b" to boot the kernel.
You should then be able to log in on the console.
