My best suggestion is to spend a good amount of time
getting familiar with the XF86Config file. It contains
all the relevant settings. I've found that getting
help with X is difficult and knowing the config file
is a better bet. 

For this particular error message, I'd start with the
device driver entry you've got in there. Is it the
right one for your video card?
