Did you try CTRL-ALT-PLUS or CTRL-ALT-MINUS a few times to cycle
through resolutions? If you just need the card working (but not well)
to get something downloaded/installed (say the nVidia driver), change
the driver in xorg.conf to "vesa" instead of "nv".

I have a GeForce 6800 (Dell OEM) that runs quite well on F7 with the
nVidia driver.  I know some are opposed to a closed-source driver, but
it works much better than the nv driver.  YMMV, etc...
