Okay, I'm not sure if this is whats wrong or not, but X defaults to an 8
bit color depth unless specifically told not to.  Your setup however
doesn't have any settings for an 8 bit color depth.  try using 
startx -- -bpp 16 > x.out 1>&2
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^  Not sure of this part, don't remember how
				to redirect stdout and stderr to a file.
