It means that your /etc/X11/XF86Config file does not contain any modes
that the X server can use.
A modes line (in section Screen) looks like this
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" "480x300" "400x300" "320x240" "320x200"
It gives the screen sizes, in pixels, in their preferred order. A mode
line is only valid if there exists a combination of monitor and device that
can produce the screen bandwidth necessary to drive the screen at at least
one of the sizes given on the mode line.
It sounds as if you need to run XF86Setup, which should get your X
properly configured for you.
