Looks like Xorg doesn't like the Xfree86 config file.
Try having Xorg build its own config file. Something like
Xorg -configure
(check the man page to be sure) Then start it with something like
Xorg -configfile /root/xorg.conf
(again, check the man page, and use the correct pathname)
If you are using a CRT monitor and are worried that it could
be damaged by the wrong scan rate, you'll want to edit the
config file and force a mode that you know will work.
Xorg (and maybe Xfree as well?) has a bunch of built-in default
modes and will happily use something completely bogus. I haven't
yet found an easy way to turn these off.
