I get the error message saying :-
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Linux Frame Buffer"
Monitor "COMPAQ S510"
DefaultDepth 8
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Why did you comment out the "modes" line??
I am defining the mode in the lilo.conf file.
Can u suggest how to acticate X so that it works on rivafb framebuffer
driver.

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.
