    There are 2 different versions of Xfree86. a version 4 and a version 3. Its possible that whichever one you are using doesn't support your hardware.

    Unfortunately I don't know how to setup the server to go from using version 4 to version 3 and vice versa, without a total reinstall.

    Good luck.
