what is the error message, you should probably post it to the list. 
from what you have said it looks like either the user that is starting
X does not have permission to read the X config file or it does not
exist.  I would read the section on configuring X in the freebsd
handbook which is available online at the freebsd.org website.  if you
are still having problems getting it to work i would post detailed
error messages to the list.
