Basically, you need a kernel with STI framebuffer support and configure XFree to use the fremebuffer driver. Mouse and keyboard are standard PS/2 components so there's no problem, too. If your colors are totally wrong, place 'Visual "TrueColor"' into the "Display" subsection of your "Screen" section. Pay attention to your screen resolution and color depth - they have to exactly match to what you get on boot-up since there's no support to switch to another resolution/depth right now IIRC.
