By any chance are you logged in as a normal user in X, but logged in as root in an xterm or the like and running 'make xconfig'? If so, the xserver is not letting another users (root, in this case) run a display on your (the regular user) display. You might want to read the man page on xhost. I believe running xhost +root should do the trick, before logging in as root. So, open your xterm, run 'xhost +root' then su to root (or however you go about being root to compile a kernel) and then 'make xconfig' - I'm guessing that's the problem.
