Cannot Display Video In this Mode

After I put in that information it just boots to the command line and when I try to startx it says there are no screens.

Is there any other error message? Try radeon instead of vesa in xorg.conf file.

vesa is a generic driver and it works fine with most of Graphics Card. radeon is default driver for ATI Cards but it doesn't sometimes.

No there is no other error message other than can't start x. I tried radeon and the same thing happened.

Check supported Refresh Rates ( HorizSync and VertRefresh rates ) in your Monitor's Manual and edit xorg.conf file accordingly.
Try a bit lower values :

         HorizSync	30-71
	VertRefresh	50-90

[mhurst14]

I now get this error:

undefine InputDevice "Generic Mouse"

[devils casper]

Delete two lines from Section "ServerLayout" of xorg.conf.

InputDevice	"Generic Keyboard"
	InputDevice	"Generic Mouse"

Debian will use Generic values for both.

Now I get no devices found.

Try this xorg.conf file.

Section "Device"
       Identifier "Configured Video Device"
       Option "RenderAccel" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier "Configured Monitor"
         HorizSync 31.5 - 50.0
         VertRefresh 40-90
         Option "UseEdidFreqs" "1"
         Option "ReducedBlanking"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Monitor "Configured Monitor"
        Device "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth 24
        Subsection "Display"
             Depth 24
             Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubsection
EndSection

Its a copy of working xorg.conf file in Debian Machine. Make sure that there shouldn't be any typo.
