Here's the problem. You haven't specified which server to run, hence the XF86_NONE string. Edit to first line of /etc/X11/Xserver to point to your desired server (XF86_VGA16). >I'm using a board with a Permedia2 chip, so I know I need to get the X >server from SuSE eventually, but right now I'm just trying to get X up and >running with the generic VGA X server. I gather from the messages that >something didn't get installed or configured properly, but I don't know >where to go from there. When you've got it going, have a poke around in /etc/X11 for more files to configure. Let us know how you get on.
