Xorg/XFree86 drivers aren't always a kernel based driver (there are exceptions), which makes that they don't show up if you do a lsmod, one such is the nv driver that comes with Xorg. There are others that are kernel based drivers, as the FB_RADEON, this can be built into the kernel or you can choose to build it as a module (this requires that the driver is loaded somehow, if done manually you use modprobe). Thos you build into a kernel aren't shown with lsmod.
Thanks for explanation sir, i appreciate your time. Well speaking
frankly i'm coming from NT kernel background so not much familiar with
this kernel and gadgets.

Check your log file, usually at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, or something
equally pointing to belong to X in the /var/log directory. Read it, and
you should see some entries regarding the driver it is loading, as well
as other things that may indicate problems (usually marked with EE or
WW). Fonts usually aren't the problem in this case :)
Hey PauNuffer! I've seen that file but no luck , yeah nothing with 'EE'
or 'WW' entry. I really wonder that installation went fine then what
the heck is wrong now. Any how i'm not gonna giveUp because of you
guys;-) Do we have any driver update gadget here or any thing which can
keep me going to investigate deep inside.
