I can't start the x for Backtrack 2.0 in live CD. The monitor is a model Lenovo ThinkVision L171

I've already tried xorgconf and another types of x like flux but i didn't work.

Here are the messages of error that I found in: /var/log/xorg.0.log

I have the same problem with a stock dell inspiron and a 15" lcd monitor. video detection & configuration has been the bane of linux since the beginning and it's still a problem here. Bootup always shows me "you passed an undefined node number". I've tried all the various options presented on startup, with xconf, etc., and still eventually get a black screen that says "Cannot display this video mode". blah....
