Don't know. Even because if you don't run "make defconfig ARCH=um", it starts
from the host defaults at times (if it finds it in /boot/config-$(uname -r of
the kernel to be compiled).
The important thing is whether the guest image is configured based on it (and
often it does, because that way you don't have to create ubd device nodes.
But you have other problems, such as DevFS taken away from Linux).

Test if you can open an xterm directly first, it's not so easy (at least you
need to use xhost).

When DISPLAY is not set, it gives an error IIRC:
if (!getenv("DISPLAY")) {
printk("xterm_open: $DISPLAY not set.\n");
return -ENODEV;
}
(Note export DISPLAY= doesn't unset the variable).
However, there is no auto fallback.
You're using wrong settings - you should pass it something like con=pts, for
instance, and then open the consoles with minicom or screen.
There's a thorough explaination here:
