I get this error everytime I am configuring the Video and Monitor. I have tried using Generic everything and still I get the error. Any suggestions?

Take a look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log I think that's the name of it. It will be something like that anyways. It's a more detailed output of the error message and it might lead you to the right path. Judging from the error it seems you are using XFree86-4.0.3, which is good. Also at the CLi do a "lspci", this will run down a list of all the PCI devices in your machine. Check to see if your vid card is detected properly.
