Did you first configure X with either XF86Setup (GUI) or xconfigurator
(text)?

What version of X are you using?

What type of video card are you using?

What type of monitor?

What type of mouse?

http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/ is a great place to start with
troubleshooting.

However, if you have not first configured X to operate on your system,
then that is most likely the problem.

http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/#Err11 is a direct response to your message.
