Yeah, you are running the wrong X server on your machine, which
is a 2DA (DS5000/PX). You are attempting to run the color frame
buffer server (which runs on the CX option).
It is unfriendly that Xcfb core dumps rather than give you a bit
more helpful message.
At some point in time, this trap for the unwary will go away, with
a single server that will run on either kind of hardware (as a side
effect of the multi-screen work). Not sure what release that will be,
however.
BTW, thanks for the detailed bug report, as the boot sequence tells
the tale exactly.
