There should be some more info previous to the error message you
sent. Assuming you're trying to start X with the startx command,
you can capture the output of any error messages with
"startx 2 > error.log". Then you can send the contents of that
file to the list for better diagnostics.
However, my first guess is that you don't have an xserver
specified in /etc/X11/Xserver. Look at the first line of that
file and make sure it says something like
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA.
