Your error message tells you that the "screen" section is unusable. So, you are supposed to experiment with modifications on that section until the error message changes - that is, until your screen section becomes usable. Focus on the immediate block. When your screen section is OK. either X will work, or you will have a new error message pointing to new tests and experiments. X must be told at what resolution to work, and all framebuffer drivers but the simple VESA one can change resolution on the fly, so you can very well have X in one resolution and text mode in one (or more) other resolutions.
