hi ya greg
- simple answer: video ram problem...
- look at your svga card... see how much memory it says
you should have...
add that value to the VideoRam line for that device
in XF86Config
- check the Horizontal/Vertical stuff from your monitor...
- add that to XF86Config
- rerun X -probeonly...
have fun

very very bad... you don't get any "usable resolution"... due to no videoram
