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.
