All the places I've searched uses glxinfo to check up on the hardware. When I run glxinfo all I get is: Error: unable to open display I've tried setting the DISPLAY-variable manually without luck. The command xhost +localhost also fails with the same error message.

When I try to diagnose why I'm having problems getting X to work I SSH to the machine and run the command glxinfo which fails. I would expect glxinfo to work regardless of how the machine is set up. As this is not the case what should be set up for this command to work?

Start Live in "SAFE MODE - AMD/ATI", log on and type "startx". You will land to a standard X desktop with fluxbox as WM. From there you will be able to perform all the tests you need - and launch xbmc as well. Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
