Hmm, it looks like you've given you video card one Identifier (name)
and used a different one for setting up the display modes.
I'm curious about the ``/etc/XF86Config:15'' which seems to indicate
that the error occurs on line 15 of /etc/XF86Config, which in mine is
the copyright, even ignoring comment lines I wouldn't expect the
Screen setup to be there, it's usually at the end of the file.
Anyway, look for the offending line ``Device "Primary Card"'' in
/etc/XF86Config and if it appears in a section like:
Section "Screen"
Driver "accel"
Device "Xpert@Work"
Monitor "CTX 1560"
DefaultColorDepth 32
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
....
Then look for a section like:
# Device configured by xf86config:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Xpert@Work"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "Xpert@Work"
#VideoRam 4096
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
You will probably find a typo in either the ``Identifier'' line or the
offending ``Device'' line, which should match.
If you still have problems then include your /etc/XF86Config in your
reply.
