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.
