Solved startx X -config ~/xorg.conf.new -retro error

Good Morning , I've got an error on a build with 9.3 and Xorg.
I have pkg installed xorg, my next procedural step of letting Xorg self configure fails with an error back to the console of
Code:
failed to set mtrr invalid argument
I'm not sure what this message means but examining the /var/log/Xorg.0.log indicates that the last successful step was load module glx
and then it indicates an error that says it cannot find the "ast" module.
I searched the system for libast.so and just like the error says: the libast.so module does not exist on the system.

What can I do to resolve the error? Any thoughts? If/WHEN I find the solution I'll post it as a follow up [SOLVED] but for now I'm stuck.
 
[SOLVED] This issue was eliminated by running startx on the console, I was accessing the system with putty (which has no GUI) DOH!
