A generic driver that is unaccelerated, and limited in resolution, etc.
(Vesa is the Video Electronics Standards Association, they have
created many standards, including one that defines a basic
graphical mode of operation that all video cards implement)
In xorg.conf section "Device", put:
Driver "vesa"
and comment out any other Driver line.

Wait, you are getting an EE now? That wasn't in the first log you sent.
Please post your full xorg.conf, and log with EE error.
