Your server tries to load nearly all drivers that have been invented by human beings by now :-)
I guess this is because the server reads a configuration file, the content of which does not make sense.
Does the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file exists ? If so, move it somewhere and try to start X without this file.

thanks for your reply,
sorry there is no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 when i tried to generate this file using X -configure similar error is i getting.my newly generated xorg.0.log file contains
my videocard-0.conf
This file does not make sense. You have the GPU frame-buffer enabled, so VESA will not work. Replace vesa with intel in this file and try to start X again.

2) Remove (or move somewhere) all the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/videocard*.conf files.
