It is not the xorg.conf incompatible, since it only tell the system what driver to load. It is the via driver installed not compatible to the video controller. When I delete the driver entry, the error message go away.
Using the screen and graphic program to load the via driver does not work. After choosing via driver, close the program, open it again, it show vesa compatible driver is used. VIA driver simply does not stick. And there is openchrome driver to chose. So I am using vesa for now.
