Hi Antoine,

If you've already read the handbook section on how to do this, you should 
write a post, including any error output, and send it to -questions. (You'll 
get the answers you want there.) You should probably include a bit more info 
about the situation. (Like what driver you're using, what does 
/etc/X11/XF86Config say about the card, etc.)

If the error occurs while starting X, include any relevant lines from 
/var/log/XFree86.0.log.

Hope you get it figured out,
Clayton
