This sure smells like some of the device drivers or utilities X needs
aren't installed. Can you try to install one of the normal desktop
environment groups, e.g.

I'm just thinking that "Basic Desktop" is incomplete or is just a
metapackage that one of the other desktops needs and isn't "stand
alone".
