The driver you are using is incorrect. If you have an NVIDIA or ATI
graphics card, you need to download the drivers from the vendors web site.
Temporarily, you can try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changing the
section that says:
Section "Device"
Identifier "something1"
Option "something2"
Driver "something3"
EndSection
Change "something3" to "generic". It will work shabbily enough for you
to download the correct drivers!
