My first idea is that you should provide more specifics about your video
card and X configuration. Maybe the above has an obvious meaning to
somebody who's seen it before, but I haven't, and there are at least five
million possible reasons for X failing to start, one of them being that 
XFree86 doesn't support your video card.
