Can't open a display with RHEL 4 and Dell Optiplex 620

I have a Dell Optiplex 620 with a 1704FPVt flatscreen monitor.  The 
system is running RedHat 2.6.9-22.ELsmp.  The xorg programs are version 
6.8.2-1.EL.

I am unable to get the graphics working.

The Xorg.O.log  ends with messages:

drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card14
drmOpenDevice:  open result is -1, (Unknown error 999)
drmOpenDevice:  open result is -1, (Unknown error 999)
