Which driver are you using        nv or nvidia  ie have you installed the 
stuff from nvidia or running stock cd install stuff..?

IF you are running the Nvidia stuff i had the same problems 

Try settings similar to these  in the Device section .. of main interest are 
the   Option        "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "TV" and  Option       "NvAGP" "1"

these fixed my display now i can go to consol mode no problems .



Section "Device"
  BoardName    "GeForce FX5200"
  BusID        "1:0:0"
  Driver       "nvidia"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Option       "sw_cursor"
  Option        "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "TV"
  Option        "NvAGP" "1"
  Screen       0
  VendorName   "NVidia"
EndSection
