Something is really misconfigured. The quickest way to solve this is
probably for you to post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, so that we can get
a better idea of what is going on. Also, run the command
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/XFree86.0.log
and include its output, so that we can see all error messages and
warnings of your X server.
