How do you expect to interface with the X after you start it? (Or do you just want it to show only?) Anyways, in my experience, you should be able to start X even if it doesn't see a keyboard or mouse. It has worked for me several times before. (For mouse, just make sure the Pointer points to a device that does exist.) Or maybe remove your X configuration's InputDevice sections. Jeremy C.
