Under XF86 v4, all servers are one.
Under XF86 v3, you probably want the xserver-mach64 package.

The v4 config is IIRC no longer just vanilla XF86Setup.

You've got X up.  You need to run apps and/or configure
/etc/X11/XSession or ~/.xinitrc to run stuff.  Try (from another
console (<ctrl><alt><F1>):

    $ xterm -display :0 &

...then switch back to the X session.

Check /var/log/XFree86.*.log or your X session output.  To capture:

    $ startx -- 1> startx.log 2>&1

...and view startx.log.
