hi there,
i had this problem two days ago and i think that all what u need is to edit
the "/etc/X11/XF86config" with any editor u like and just follow the
instructions about Section "Screen" in your handbook, you probably didn't
configured the DefaultDepth correctly or misconfigured any other vatriable
but ur error is certainly in the Screen section... see the site below:
