Preetham,
I had that problem too. I use a Radeon 9200 in my development box. I 
think that I had to fiddle with the default.conf and server.conf files. 
I seem to recall that one of them isn't needed. I'll attach both. You 
also have to have a valid /etc/fb.modes file, and your .conf files have 
to use a valid mode from that file.
I personally removed the SDL driver from my copy, because I didn't want 
any X dependent components on my machine.
