Do you have the same problem with the live CD? If not: Did you select the option to install the restricted drivers? If so: try running the default drivers by removing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You can do this by holding the Shift-key while booting to boot into recovery mode. In recovery mode log in and run sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup. Reboot and see if this solved your problem.

In all other cases, you need to provide more details. Like your laptop and videocard model.
