I can get an x window when I enter startx -d but it does not seem to display

that the X server will listen for TCP/IP connections. (See this FAQ for

Yes I get a different error

Just trying to get X working on my desktop as I need its functionality
for some Unix jobs that require X.

As openGL crashed and the suggestion on the screenshot is "-nowgl"

can you try

startxwin -- -multiwindow +iglx -nowgl

it should disable the hardware acceleration.
