I solved this problem. It was the problem of xorg.conf.
The orginal file of xorg.conf is:
 
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver     "Intel"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Videocard0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
           Viewport   0  0
           Depth      24
    EndSubSection
EndSection
 
I modified the xorg.conf as follows:
 
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Generic Video Card"
    Driver     "vesa"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Generic Video Card"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
           Viewport   0  0
           Depth      24
    EndSubSection
EndSection
 
And then the X worked. It seems the XServer of Linux2.6.18.8-xen0 could work when using the vesa driver, but could not work when using the default configuration. Although I could start the X, I could not understand the cause.

sorry it is debian specific

For xserver reconfiguration in fedora use:
xorgcfg --textmode or else X -config and fill up the details

HTH

thanks

The command "X -config" is ok. But how should I config it? Which parameters should I config?
Thanks.
