I got this after a painless install:
----------------------------------------------
[localhost:~] blablabla% startx
XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Darwin
Display mode: IOKit
Fatal server error:
Failed to connect as window server!
Quit the Mac OS X window server or use the -quartz option.
OsVendorFatalError
AbortDDX
Quitting XDarwin...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Starting the X-App gives a black full scree for a few seconds, then I'm back in OSX.
What's wrong ?
Running actualized OSX 10.0.1, no betas underlying.
Greetings

Note the two dashes before -quartz. That did the trick for me.
