Looks like it's reading *something* as a configuration file, but it's
not the right configuration file. Hmmm, the man page doesn't say
anything about a config file. But since it's an XFree86 server, it
probably borrows most of its code from the other XFree86 servers. In
fact, I seem to vaguely recall getting that (misleading) syntax error
when I had no config file at all. Try the Xserver(1) man page.
