Is it gNewSense version 2.3 (deltah)?  Have you used it previously on
this machine without this problem?  What graphics card do you have
("lspci -nn" in a terminal will show it)?  The content of the
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file would usually contain some information about
such problems (output of "dmesg" is also useful).

Misconfigured /etc/X11/xorg.conf usually caused such problem on my
computers, old X and drivers also can do this.

(I haven't used gNewSense 2.3 or 3.0 on non-mipsel architectures, I
assume it's similar to other distros.)
