I'm not entirely sure.  If you do a 'dmesg' and see a line like:

grf0 at intvid0:
 
then X _should_ work.

This one is in the FAQ, but here it is again:

startx >& startx.log

and then take a look at startx.log to see what output you get.  A number
of factors could be at work here.  Do you have a full '040 or an 'LC040?
If the latter, you might be hitting errors in the FPE....

Later.
