Hi Gurpreet,
Well the problem seems to be that your XF86Config file is not created properly.
Just check this file /etc/X11/XF86Config , it should contain something like this :-
Section "Screen" Driver "svga" # Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256 #Device "Generic VGA" Device "S3 Trio3D" Monitor "Samsung Samtron 40Bn" DefaultColorDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection
I think this section is self explanatory , u can use different drivers. Either make changes in this section or use tools to change it...
Hope this helps
Ciao n N'joy Tapesh

You are getting this error because ur monitor is not set up properly. I am familiar with this error and I was able to solve this problem by entering correct monitor param's like Verticle and horizontal refresh rate. max resolution and color depth etc.
You can edit XF86Config or XF86Config-4(if this file is present change this and ignore other) file and do these changes manually or you can run the configuration utility for x once again.
