Cannot run KDE GUI on Vortexbox


I am running vortexbox (Fedora 14) on an intel atom PC. I am attempting to install KDE. I installed it and received the errors below when I tried startx. And then I uninstalled and reinstalled and received the same errors.

I've seen these errors mentioned elsewhere on the net but people talk about things like installing a new kernel and blacklisting modules, which as a newbie I am not very well versed in. Any simple help would be appreciated.

Here's the output on the computer:
[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# startx

Your Fedora 14 issues may be related to this: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/piper...er/003023.html

(edit) I just googled "vortexbox"--does it even have a graphics card?
