Then X has not found any modelines that work woth your card and system.
Check for this in /etc/XF86Config:

Modeline "640x480"      36.00   640  688  744  808    480  481  484  505
-hsync
-vsync
Modeline "800x600"      60.75    800  816  880 1008    600  604  609  625
-hsync
 -vsync
Modeline "1024x768"     85      1024 1060 1180 1320   768  772  775  795
Modeline "1152x864"     135.00  1152 1200 1328 1524   864  864  876  908
Modeline "1280x1024"  157.5  1280 1344 1504 1728  1024 1025 1028 1072
+HSync +VS
ync
Modeline "1280x1024"    85      1280 1280 1280 1280   1024 1024 1024 1024

...and see to it that you have configurations that work. Also check that
you try to start X in a mode that your card supports (8 bpp, 16 bpp, 24
bpp or whatsoever).

Hope this could help a little.
