Any hint ?

You're missing some stuff in your xorg.conf file. It found the graphics
chipset OK. The easiest way to get on the air is usually the following:
1. Log on to the console as root.
2. Type
# X -configure
X will start up, probe your hardware, and write a file
"/root/xorg.conf.new"
3. You'll need to edit this file in two or three places. For some reason
(I should file a defect on this) it usually gets the mouse device wrong.
Edit the file and if it says "/dev/mice" or "/dev/mouse", change it to
"/dev/psaux". You should end up with a line that looks something like this:
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
4. Figure out what screen resolution you want. Most monitors these days
are capable of handling all sorts of resolutions, but I've got a fairly
ancient one and can't deal with small characters, so I usually just use
1024x768. Towards the bottom of the xorg.conf.new file, you'll want
something like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 1
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 15
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
The specific error message you got,
Fatal server error:
no screens found
indicates something is wrong in this last section I posted.
Once you've edited xorg.conf.new, you can test it by typing
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
If X comes up, copy the new config file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you
should be ready.
