(...) I would try two things: 1/ Booting into runlevel 1 (single-user mode) to avoid loading X and get some clues from you "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" or even the kernel logs. 2/ You can also try to use the "vesa" driver and check if at least the "out-of-sync" error can be bypassed. In lenny, you can select the driver to use by tweaking "Driver vesa" stanza in your "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file. In Squeeze, disabling KMS should force the loading of the vesa driver (you need to add "nomodeset" as kernel parameter at booting).
