Does ..
# graphinfo|more
returns any errors ?
Just trying to determine if you got any graphics related problem .. also what's the output of ..
# ioscan -fnC graphics

[S.K. Chan]

A couple more thoughts came to mind ..
# cd /etc/X11
# grep -v \^# X0screens
==> What's the output ? Does it show the line that has "/dev/crt" ?
# ll /dev/crt
==> What's the permission,owner:group ?

sounds like a problem wrt the install ... the files it's complaining about do they exist food.1 etc ?

I'd consider installing a newer Xserver patch to see if it will help.

dr_dt output maybe of use too...
