The error message is that there are no valid modes found.  The X server,
when parsing the config file, is not finding valid modes.  The existing
config file is either pointing to an incorrect X server, or the config
file is full of timing errors.  

Here's a config file which I use on a R Hat 5.1 version.  The timings
are for my monitor, and use the file with all due caution, ensuring that
your monitor is capable of the settings.  Check the file over and see
that your paths and equipment specified is correct.

Now, make sure that the "Acclerated" server is available on the system,
that there are the correct symbolic links in place, and this should fire
right up for you.  The file specifies a very safe 75hz refresh rate for
the 1024x resolution.  IF your monitor is capable of high, you can edit
the file to uncomment out the higher refresh rates, or resolutions.  My
vid board has 4mb of ram, so the settings can be kicked up to higher
refresh rates. 



Good Luck,

Have you run xf86config or whatever X configuration tool your distribution
comes with?
