That's very little for us to work with, but still I'll make a guess:

I have seen such things several times with Debian when using Radeon
(R200-R4xx) cards. The solution was to delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
generated by Debian; without the broken xorg.conf file the X server
autoconfigured itself nicely and correctly.

How can I configure manually my X windows
system?

emacs /etc/X11/xorg.conf
