Something is misconfigured in /etc/X11/XF86Config You'd have to look in the log files mentioned to determine exactly what the problem is. Instead you could just try running this command: X -configure This will try to create a proper config file but it won't replace your existing config. To test the generated config you run: XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new If the server starts without a problem you can replace the /etc/X11/... file with the generated config and you should be away to the races.
