   If you feel comfortable using some kind of rescue media to fix lilo if   
   something goes wrong, I would start by trying to remove nomodeset, rerun   
   lilo and see if that helps.

   That file is not used, but any files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d are used.   
   Maybe it would help to switch graphics driver to ati.  (see man ati)

   However, the fact that X did choose the vesa driver might mean that none   
   of the ati drivers work with your card.
