error with startx


I have installed Slackware 9.0. I run succesfully the "xf86config" command and receive errors when try to run startx.
I receive 2 errors at the bottom of the screen. They have to do with screen configuration:
VGA(0):Virtual height (0)is too small for the hardware (min 1)
Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

What should I do?
Did I do wrong configurations at xf86confic setup?

Hi, could you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file? And what video card do you have?
