cannot start xserver on Thinkpad 770

I have installed linux on my IBM Thinkpad770. At first, the xfree86 installed with OS was ver 3.3.1, which couldn't detect my display chip(Cyber9397), so I downloaded xfree86 3.3.2 and re-compiled. But although this time the system can detect my cyber9397 chip correctly, xserver still cannot be started. Here is the output of startx:


XFree86 Version 3.3.2 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: March 2 1998
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
        than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
        problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

BTW: today I further upgrated the xfree86 to 3.3.3, and it seemed to be helpless.
