You need entries in /dev.  You can either rbind mount the real /dev to
the chroot /dev, or just copy files there.  The rbind mount is nice.

Make sure /etc/hosts contains a valid entry for the machine or some
things will fail.

Another posibility is that the kernel on the host system isn't capable
of running your X server.  Not sure if it needs framebuffer support or
