IMO, installing Xorg is easy. Long, but easy and straightforward. And there is no better Xorg installation guide in existence than the BLFS book. What can be time-consuming is configuration. Maybe that is what you meant.
Configuring the kernel for various video issues (drivers, KMS, frame buffering, console frame buffering, sometimes firmware, etc.) is most likely the issue here, IMO. ReaperX7 mentioned ideas about using a config file from another Linux system that is running well on the host system to build your BLFS kernel. Many people resort to that. It will cheat you in the learning process, but it may work and at least relieve your present desperation. You can always learn kernel configuration later (I'm still learning that).
Also a likely candidate for your trouble is the configuration of MesaLib for video drivers. Another is the Xorg driver that you installed. Those things are so hardware specific, and there is so much hardware in the world, that the book can't cover everybody's needs in perfect detail. I repeat my recommendation that you publish in your next post more information such as the complete details and specs of your video card and the Xorg.0.log file of the BLFS system that fails to start X. Somebody may see that here and know right off what to do. Until then, only guesses will be offered to you I think.
Less likely, IMO, is the post-install Xorg configuration since that is mostly automatic for most people nowadays. But as ReaperX7 mentioned in one of your other threads, it too may need special config files.
Lastly, I repeat here my idea to thoroughly study how the host Linux system is handling the video hardware. Things in the host like Xorg.0.log, dmesg, lspci, lsmod, the kernel config file, etc. usually reveals all you need to know.
