I am trying to install X11 on a new machine (Zotac box running quad core Celeron with Intel HD graphics). X11 fails to launch with a message about not being able to find a console driver, as the Xorg log file shows below:

I have compared the console and ttyC* entries in /dev/ with a
functioning X11 system on my laptop. There were some differences in
permissions, but changing those to match the laptop didn't help.
Disabling AutoAddDevices in an X11 configuration file snippit didn't
help either.
Any pointers on where to look to fix this problem?
