Cannot start X server

[Steve Searle]

I have just installed Fedora Core 1 on an old HP NetServer.  However I
can't get the X server to start.  The server has an onboard video card,
I don't know what.  My monotor is an ADI Microscan 4v.  Running
	redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig -v

produces:

* dccprobe returned bogus values:
ID:	None
Name:	None
HorizSync: None
VertSync:  None

Trying with card: VESA driver (generic)
Writing temporary config file to /tmp/@1806.0xf86config
Trying to start X server
Waiting for X server to start...log located in /var/log/XFree86.setup.log
1...2...3...4...5....X SERVER FAILED
Error, cannot start X server.
