this issue depends on your hardware
usually xvesa will be ok, for newer hardware. try a basic config like
800*600 or 1024*800 with 16 millions colors and 2 button mouse.
else try framebuffer or lower resolutions.
there's plenty of info on this matter in this forums. tens of threads.
use the search field to browse them.
good luck
