You've left out the most important information: what hardware do you have? In any case, I was able to extract it from the log: > (--) SVGA: PCI: Matrox Unknown chipset (0x051a) rev 2, Memory @ 0xffbec000 The version of XFree86 you are trying to use dones't support the Matrox Millenium. I believe the version on CD-ROM does. You should be able to run it on your version 2.2 system, though I can't guarantee it. If that version doesn't support your board, you can get the latest version from http://www.xfree86.org/.
