When I checked the log, it states it failed to load driver 0, or module 0.

When I did I got an error that my configuration file had an error in line 44.

Next check out Xorg.?.log in /var/log. On my system I installed xterm, I do not know if 12 bundles that in. More information in https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops and the release notes on supported hardware. Look at dmesg for errors. The command "pciconf -lv" will list all the conponents that were recognized. In general startx will just work if the video, keyboard and mouse are recognized.
