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.
