Hmmm tried system rescue and startx works just fine. Copied kernel config from
system rescue to guest and tried genkernel from live cd. Still the same error.

I use kvm, though most of my guests are headless or just text mode.. but
i did just try booting systemrescuecd into X and all was well.
question:
* What verison of qemu-kvm are you runing
* which kernel
* Have you tried other guests (such as systemrescuecd)?
Seems to work for me (with the cirrus emulator).
