There were several X server packages that failed to build.  I am
guessing that this may be why X doesn't start on your system.  I have
not had a chance to look into why they don't build yet.

Many of the perl packages fail to build still.  When I built this
release however I did grab the noarch perl packages from an x86_64 build
so that works around many of the issues but there are still some binary
perl packages that we need that are missing.
