I got almost the exact same error listed above on my FreeBSD machine. I 
simply ran xf86config and changed the driver for the video card. It's a 
ratty old machine with an even rattier video card (CL GD5446) which, on 
the first run of configuring X, it chose the vanilla 'vga' driver. I 
changed it to 'cirrus' and now X works fine. If you're using 
Fedora/RedHat I wouldn't be surprised if it just doesn't like your video 
card. I gave up on them partially because of that.
