It means that the `Device "Screen"` setting in /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4)
is wrong. It is trying to work with a defined screen that doesn't
exist. The most common error that I have had in this section is the
DefaultDepth is set to something (like 24), but there is no Display
subsection for the defined depth, or the mode line in that section is
incorrect.
I won't even comment on Sun stuff "Just Working"..... ;-)
C-Ya,
