Hi,
if you use Massimo's raspberry image, X is not installed (AFAIK). Massimo compiled QLC+ to run directly on hardware to gain some speed.
If you want to have full desktop, you need to install respective packages. The image is based on raspbian which is in turn based on debian,
so google how (sudo apt-get install <packagename> and what packages you need to install. You'll also need to compile QLC+ for use with X.
Note: I don't use that image so I may be wrong.

If you have my image, you can find the information you need in chapter 10 of the PDF I sent via email.
No need to build from sources as the deb package I provide supports both XCB and EGLFS.
The question though is why are you trying to start an X server ? If you stick to QLC+ only you don't need it.
If you need it, it means you're doing something requiring a desktop, then you should do it on a proper desktop -> PC.
