Sorry for the piggyback but I missed the orig...  

I've also seen this error when the video card has been set to another mode
(through NT mostly) then I softboot into Linux.  The X server wil report this
error because it can't set the card to the mode it wants to see.  If I power
down, power back up it and go directly to Linux the X server starts up fine. 
This could be a symptom of a video card going bad too...  FWIW.
