Hi,

The XF86Config-4 man page seems to indicate that the BusID option is manditory 
for what you're trying to do so they should be uncommented in your config.  
Just a guess but the format of the BusID option should be "PCI:2:0:0".  It 
looks like you forgot the colon after PCI and that could be why X won't 
start.

Regards,
