Attach an external monitor which supports VGA or SVGA until you get access to 
the
desktop. After that, you need to add the specific resolution of your laptop's 
screen,
which is most certainly not supported by default by Mac Os X (System 
Preferences ->
Hardware -> Displays). Press Detect Display and see if your laptop's resolution
appears in the list. If it does, you're in luck. If not, you need either 
SwitchResX
(shareware) or to edit a plist as detailed in the last post (bottom of the 
page) over
