In your XF86Config, try commenting out the lines that say `Load "xie"' 
and 'Load "pex5"' in the `Section "Modules"'.  But I don't think this is 
the real problem.  It'll just clear up the log a little.

I would guess that you also have a `Load "dri"' module in that section 
too?  Your card is not supported by XFree86-4.2.1 
http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status24.html#24 and you need to revert 
to 3.3.6.  To find out if your card is one of those listed on the URL 
you can use "lspci -vv" and search for the VGA line reported in that 
output.

This says that you don't have much video memory at all.  You will 
probably be only able to run at very low resolutions and colordepths.

Which is born out by all the snipped lines above.  To get rid of those 
warnings you need to look for the section titled "monitor" and remove 
all the modelines that were listed above.

Try reverting to 3.3.6.  You may be able to run at 8bpp with some low 
res like 320x240.  Personally I'd use the box as CLI only or else get a 
new video card.

Good luck,
