Hmmm, I don't do X, and therefore don't know about any differences between an xterm and the console.
The only way I can get minicom to fire up without error messages, yet not work, is if I tell it to use a serial port that doesn't have a modem attached to it. i.e., I have modems on ttyS0 and ttyS1, if I configure minicom to use ttyS2 it starts up ok but nothing happens. All I can think of is for you to triple check that your serial port does have a modem hanging off of it and that you are talking to it at a speed it will respond to... beyond that I am at a loss with what more you can do.
