Caveat: I haven't gone to 4.1, but in 4.0.99 anyway, this indicates
that your Section known as "Screen" (usually at the very end of
XF86Config-4) is somehow incorrect. Look at that part of your
XF86Config-4 file which goes (here's mine, which is for a
fixed-resolution [old] Apple monitor):
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 15
DefaultFbBpp 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "832x624"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "832x624"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "832x624"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
FbBpp 16
Modes "832x624"
EndSubSection
EndSection
In particular, try it with each possible DefaultDepth number set to
8, 15, 16, and 24 (I think 32 is another one). I'm real unsure of
myself here, but only if you use 15 do you need the FbBpp number at
16.
Also, I'm sure you know but I'll say it anyway, there has to be a
valid mode corresponding to the 832x624 (or whatever) part, in the
section called "Modes".
Again my caveat: I don't know if this config-file format still applies in 4.1.
