You don't use sudo to run X.

Here's a checklist for you:

[ ] - Make user part of video group.
[ ] - Create xorg.conf in /etc/X11.

If you need help creating a proper xorg.conf, the best guide can be found in the FreeBSD handbook at www.freebsd.org. Just edit as the BLFS driver install recommends aftercreation with vim, nano, etc.

Yes, those are normal. Those aren't actually errors, just warnings.
