This generally happens when your X configuration is not supported by your monitor. Check the following config options: 1) Your monitor sync and refresh rates. Check your monitor manual and verify in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 in the "Monitor" section 2) max/min resolution that you're trying to use. Generally 1024x768 with 24bit color is widely supported. You can check this in the "Screen" section of the config file.
I read /var/log/messages, but could not understand much. dmesg does not contain any information that I could use. I am attaching herewith /var/log/XFree86.0.log, and XF86Config files herewith for your information.
Please avoid posting such large files. In this case the more useful lines in the log file are ones that start with (WW) or (EE) as they indicate warnings and errors respoectively.
