AFAIK the flashing CapsLock & ScrollLock are trying to tell you an error
message - just loike the beloved BIOS beep messages - because the message
can't get displayed on your screen. Try changing you boot to level 3 (you
should be able to specify a run level at your boot loader, eg lilo: linux 3;
if not, boot into single user (linux 1, or init=/bin/sh), and edit your
default runlevel from that - in /etc/inittab [id:5:initdefault:]) and
running X (startx) from there.
