I tried to install the Xorg VESA Driver-2.3.1 to test it.

Now, I'm in Xorg-7.7 Testing and Configuration.
I asked about what you have done, _not_ what you are doing now. I'm also asking if you had any problems _before_ you reached this point. Can I assume you did all the chapters leading up to this problem? Did you start with chapter 24 after finishing LFS or did you do any other chapters (have you done chapter 3 for example)?

Sorry ,,,
After finishing the LFS installation on VirtualBox machine ,,, I installed wget and ssh, I install ssh to connect with the LFS via my openSUSE host, and it's worked fine.
After that I did chapter 3 in BLFS (3. After LFS Configuration Issues) after finished it, I did chapter 24.
I searched in net for that problem some peoples said it's ok just go with make install.
And I had another problem when installing Xorg Libraries, which is
Code:
checking for APPLEWM... configure: error: Package requirements (x11, xext xextproto to applewmproto) were not met:
No package 'x11' found
No package 'xext' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

I also believe that this should not be a problem. Only warnings are shown, no actual errors.

The VGA driver is a generic driver and should work. Focus on that one for the moment.
BTW: Using lspci -v -s 00:02.0 will give you more detail.
Did you check/edit/recompile your kernel for the correct settings? (mentioned multiple times in the Xorg Drivers section).

I tried the Xorg VESA Driver-2.3.1 and go to the next section, installing twm-1.0.7, xterm-279, xclock-1.0.6, xinit-1.3.2.
And now I'm in Xorg-7.7 Testing and Configuration.
I noticed this in your first post:

Did you check the correctness of the file(s) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
Really I didn't know how to do that ,,, ,,, I just go to /sources/linux-3.2.6 which i uncompressed from LFS Instructions and run
Code:
make menuconfig
Does that right !!!!? ,,, I didn't recompile the kernel.
And ya some drivers need to choose (Y or M) in kernel configuration but I couldn't do that, so I select by (*).
No, that is not correct. You should activate the options, recompile the kernel, place the appropriate files in /boot and reboot (you [should have] have done this before: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...08/kernel.html).
You should do this first.

OK ,,, I'll do that and replay after finish it ,,, (It's will take a long time ), but what did you meant by place the appropriate files in /boot ?
and in VESA configuration, How can I choose Y from menuconfig ,,, I only have (*) ,,, Does it OK ?
Code:
Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
<*> Support for frame buffer devices --->
VESA VGA graphics support: Y
