Looks like your video card is not being recognised. Is your card a Cirrus Logic 5426?

The CL 54xx cards are pretty well standard stuff and should be supported.

If the card is not a CL 5426 then set your X-Server for the correct card.

If it is a CL5426 try the standard vga driver to start with. You may be trying to run it in a mode not supported by the video card.

eg. 1 Mg card supports only up to 65000 colours at 800x600
