I've got a tobi board with HDMI, I just put in the ALIP image and plugged it into my TV for the first time, but I get nothing (but I'm also plugged in via serial and see that it boots completely).

So I try 
X -configure

and I get
No devices to configure.  Configuration failed.
 ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log

I googled a bit, but I must not have the right terms.
It's been years since I've had to configure X.
Is there some special setup or a tutorial for this?
