startx 2 > error.log did not actually put anything into error.log, it must be
writing to stderr. Anyway running it off of a telnet
connection I get the following:

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
===========================================================================================
The last lines are the same on both telnet and console so I assume that the
full output is correct. The interesting part is the
/dev/mem not being available, what are the major / minor numbers for this
device to create it by hand?
TIA
