your /etc/X11/xorg.conf needs some tweaking, post up your xorg.conf.

spenzer, you should read the slackbook, go google it and give it a good once over.

Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a text editor in superuser mode. BT3 should be root by default, so you should be able to open it. If not, use sudo and use 'toor' as the password.

Once you have it, post it here so we can help you out a little better. adding a screen into the file with VESA settings usually works.

Learn your basics. It won't be any good at all just to type in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Get a good book about Linux and start reading/learning or ask me or someone else on how to start with Linux. Just jumping onto BT is definately the wrong way to go and you will have more issues than you will be happy with before you get anywhere without basic knowledge.

If not, use sudo and use 'toor' as the password.

No offense to you SunSpyda, but if one hasn't changed the default password, (especially w/ some sort of install)then they really do need to read a bit more about security.
