I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. 
I'm not at the computer at the moment, but I'll post what details I can come 
up with from memory and I'll fill in details later when needed.
It started and the X server attempted to run, but failed and complained about 
not finding a suitable screen or something like that.

Some questions that I had:
Should I expect X on Darwin-x86 to work right out of the box?
Do I need a XF86Config or xorg.conf file for X on Darwin-x86?
Is there some other way of configuring it?
Is there some other component that I should be checking on for 
misconfiguration?
